SHOULD I RUN?

I ask myself

Should I run to you?

And keep our secret tryst

For that sweet joy

Of being kissed

 

I ask myself

Should I run from you?

And protect my heart

But endure the pain

Of being apart

 

So I must ask myself

What joy exists

In sterile safety

Compared to being kissed

So I run to you

To the love and chemistry

And drown myself

In your sweet serenity
