Let's run away

A girl and a boy
filled with love and joy
together they were
and never apart
kissing each other
with all of their hearts

As the days turned to weeks
and the weeks to months
she just couldn't help it
she loved him too much

She missed him when he was gone
and never wanted to leave when the heat was turned on

In both of their minds, they were meant to be
but what happened that day surely wasn't something you normally see

Rage and battles was home for the man she needed
But he wouldn't stop as much as she begged and pleaded
His family was too much
he couldn't stand to be beaten this much

On Monday morning he didn't show at school
this was unusual, this definitely wasn't cool
she sat in first period and waited impatiently
As she looked to her right seeing he wasn't there she broke down almost immediately

He wasn't to be found in the halls
she couldn't wait to get home and give him a call

She sat down on her bed and began to dial
she had a funny feeling
something was screaming at her for a mile

"hi is Craig there please"
"No, I'm sorry he's not here at the moment"

Addressed to his love was a letter written in pen
She opened it carefully and read what it said:

Baby,
Never have I ever felt so strongly about anyone in my life, but as you know I hate my home life. It's torture and pain, I hate living in vain. I didn't bother to write them. They don't care and I'm sure they can guess why I'm leaving this mess. But don't you dare shed a tear, for the ink It will smear and I have something important to say.
Pack a bag and wait for me by your window at the hour of three, that's when I will come for you. I love you and I know you love me too so let's escape to a life without hate. You and me, together we can make it. Please don't hesitate, I'm not faking it.
My soul mate, my dear
I have shed my last tear
You complete me...
