Lonely People

If you get too close I'll run
If you go too far I'll cry
If you know how I feel you'd be lying
If I knew how I felt I'd probably feel like dying.
I've loved and I've lost a love beyond compare
But now I have touble seeing what there is to have,
afriad of what again
I'll have to bare.
I give up what's in front of me waiting for an utopian dream,
Remembering what it was like to be laying in his arms
like laying in a warm beam.
A seamingly perfect stolen season,
taken away for no appearent reason.
Now its time to go back to reality,
time to take responsibility,
time to quit running,
time to start crying,
time to get over it,
time to forget the past,
time to give up on dreams,
time to accept being lonely,
and finally time to forgive myself for all the mistakes
that I have carelessly made in the quest for love.
