“Run”


I have noticed Lisa ????? runs from me.
Why she runs from me?  That I can not see.
There is not a thing to be afraid of.
I will always care and help you my love.

Why you have to hide when I’m on your side?
There’s nothing to hide, just let your love glide.
But are you afraid of depressing me?
I’ll accept friendship if love can not be.

You don’t have to run, I’ll help you have fun.
But what can be done when nothing’s begun?
But why do you hide and why do you run?
Get out of the shade and walk in the sun.

If I tell her why she needs to reply,
she might be too shy, so why do I try?
I need an answer to my big question.
But will she answer if it is mentioned?

You’re so beautiful, your love is helpful.
You make me graceful.  Hiding is shameful.
Please don’t be afraid of depressing me.
Just give me a chance, but will you agree?

Now the fear of me, getting hurt by thee,
depressed and can’t see that death will soon be.
Lisa could kill me if she turns me down
and my love will be scattered all around.

I can’t talk to her, reaching her’s harder.
She’s getting farther, I’m getting closer.
Try my hardest and I’ll find where you hide.
Nothing you can do.  Love is on my side.

I need to get Lisa to talk to me.
If she runs from me, love might never be.
Do not hide from me because I love you.
And I want you to know that my love’s true. 

I’m always depressed.  I’m always distressed.
I will try my best when I’m in the test.
When the time is right, I will ask her out.
Or will she be hiding somewhere about. 

But when will you know? But where do you go?
Hiding’s taking slow for my love to show.
Running sun takes long for my tree to grow.
I just need some of your time to borrow.

Will you talk to me?  Help me with my plea.
Can you even see the love inside me?
Don’t be mad at me, I just need a friend
and I need your love to have and depend.

The feelings I share, I need you to care.
The pain always flares making my heart tear.
The cure of my pain is your caring love.
Please have faith in me and faith from above.

Lisa, please help me, all my love is free.
And I know that we could together be.
I will not hurt you, listen to my voice.
Going out with me is the perfect choice.

If you’re going to run, will you run to me?
I won’t let you down with your wanted plea.
I’m the nicest guy there could ever be.
I can be the light that can make you see.
I respect you and I can set you free.
Whatever you do, please don’t run from me.
