sometimes
i run away
so see if you
would follow me.
and if you dare
enter this
dark and damp
sad sorrow filled lair
then i guess
true friendship
is really there.
and i love the 
way you smile
from anywhere
when eyes meet
and how when
touchy tiems come
you stay there
and ask not
and wait for me to speak
sometimes
i want to ask you
to ask me how i am.
when i run away
i want you to hold me
and say i care..
ask me how i am today
but you and i
both know
i lie,
i say nothing,
when the answer
is pretty much everything,
but, you're there.
and that's enough
to keep me going.
