Why did You

You ran away and hide,
I tried to find you,
But I didn’t realize you didn’t want to be found,
By me,

You ran away from me,
And I followed,
But I didn’t know you didn’t want to be followed,
By me,

I let you hide,
I let you ran,
Why didn’t I hold on to you?
Why didn’t I stop you?

Is this what you wanted?
Did you want to run away?
Did you want to hide?
Did you not want to be found?

Tell me why,
Why you hide,
And why you run,
Come back so we can figure this out,

I miss you,
And I let you slip away,
How could I lose?
Such a beautiful thing,

I miss you,
Please come back,
And never go again,
So I can have you forever.
