Running with You

I ran a thousand leagues and fought a million demons to get to you.

Still I see you there and thinking is something happening new?

Looked back and saw how far I have reached.

Knowing how much I changed and time has passed.

Whenever I thought you stayed, you moved and ran too.

Blinded by my feelings I never accepted,

understanding that my heart cannot easily be mended.

That you always ran as far I could do,

only farther away from the altar I want to.
