The Forbidden Run
Running along the trees,
Feeling the wet, cold moss
Under my hands,
Looking back to see him following me,
Puts a smile on my face,
Every time I look at him
I get butterflies,
Then I know for sure
He is the one for me
But we need to be careful so we don’t get caught
As I keep running through the woods
I hear behind me the crunching
Of branches from his feet of tenderness
Then I keep running on
Trying to hide
To make him wonder where I am
Finally I reach a meadow
That takes my breath away
The soft green grass just greats me gracefully when I walk to the center
As I come the freshness of everything around me
Hits me like a cat pouncing on a mouse
I hear the birds chirping their song as they sit on their branch
When he comes near me
I see the soft eyes of a gentle giant
But the strength of a lion there to protect me
I can feel the breeze along my skin giving me goose bumps
My hair flowing like a willow tree that can’t be tamed
I see in his eyes the love he has for me,
Even though we can’t be together,
Even when I don’t look my best,
I hear him whispering in my ear “You are beautiful”
The next words that come out of his lips aren’t words at all
And I’m confused with that until I open my eyes
It is the sound of a beeping alarm clock that won’t shut up
As I realized it was all a dream
I find that my emotions can’t help but explode with all its anger
For I knew I was never going to see the softness of those gorgeous teal eyes again
