Running Scared



I'm sorry.....

I think I may have jumped the gun
Although it's been fun, really fun

But I don't think I'm ready yet
With some regret, I can't forget

When you tried to hug me goodnight
I think you might have sensed my fright

Please don't ask me to stay
Honestly I say, I'll run away

I should have explained I'm damaged goods
A babe in the woods, full of coulds and shoulds

So I thank you for our dinner date
It's really been great, but now it's late

For now my friend I bid you adieu
When I start anew, I'll call you.....

Well written, and understood too! However, rather that look at ourselves as damaged goods, I like to think that we are gaining our strength to take another shot at 'living.' Beautiful work.

Sometimes we have to put ourselves first, and its only fair not to lead someone on with false expectations - I think we all can run a bit scared at times - but there is often an underlying reason

Some relationships refuse to let us free, Rache ... so writing is our only solace. I'd like to tell you the pain lessens with time, but I'd be lying.
