Run

"Run"

Since I can remember I used to run all the time
For fear that if I slowed down
My heart would stop beating and I’d collapse
On myself like a big fight in a small town

Then I tried to start flying, but an attraction
To an earthly gravitational guy
He left my dreams in the clouds,
But removed my head from the sky

My body now rests, but my soul has come to life
All because of a man
Who showed me not only the distance I could run
But the distance I’d already ran

He may not really love me, but he made me feel
Meaningful and special inside
And all because he looked with his heart and soul,
And didn’t judge me on the outside
