We Could Run Away


We could run away

From exhaustion 

From being

Who we aren’t

 

We could run away

From who they 

Want us to be

And tell us we have to be 

 

We could run away

From loosing

What we love most

And who we love most

 

We could run away

From a future

Full of loss

And anxiety

 

We could run away

Away from pretending

Away from expectations

Away from reality

Away from the inevitable 

 

Is it possible?

Only with you

 

We could run away

Like a fairy tale

Make a beeline from civilization

Into the great unknown

 

We could run away

And see everything

Do everything

Say everything we want

 

We could run away

And be what we dreamed

What we planned together 

When we were young

 

We could run away

And be ourselves for once

Just the three of us

Better alone, best together, forever

 

We could run away

Fields of dreams

Mountains of bravery

Cities of ambition

Sunsets of infinite, true love

 

Do such places exist?

Only with you
