The Chase

Where in the world are you Love
I've searched high and low
Why do you insist on hiding from me
Your face you refuse to show

I've stood at the center of my heart, trying to find the right path
I thought I came close a couple of times, but you managed to escape my grasp

I think of all of the times I've called on you Love,
Olly, Olly Oxen Free!
Lurking in the shadows I know you hear, but it's too dark for me to see

Exhausted, I am of chasing you Love,
I get weaker day by day
Even though I am lonely without you, your games I can't continue to play

No longer do I want to wear my heart on my sleeve
Accessible, for you to break, to do with what you please

I want to put it in a safe place Love, far from the likes of you
This time I'll just lock it up and hide the key from you

No longer will you be able to taunt me Love, with your lies and idle words
However, I will give you the key one day if you prove that you deserve

For now I've given up the search Love, I'm tired, just let me be
Maybe when you notice that I'm not there, then you will come searching for me
