run away

your love was too much for me

all i saw was a blazing fire

a heart so completely mine

a mind so deeply in awe of my own

i ran away

i'm not used to being called beautiful

only my mother uttered those magical words

i loved your hand in mine

the way your eyes smiled

how much you cared for me

and yet

i was scared 

never ready for a love so strong

and today

you're still here somewhere in my heart

my first love

i am forever grateful

for who you helped me become
