Running from your Smile

I thought I’d escaped you this time,
but you’re chasing my thoughts today.
I keep trying to run away
and keep finding the starting line.
 
 
 
It feels like a long time ago,
your blue youthful eyes mature now,
but they still remind me somehow
of then. All the highs and the lows.
 
No-one told me the running track
doesn’t care how hard I train
or how fast I sprint in my lane,
it will always lead me back
 
to you. Back where we first begun,
when your smile was enough
to make me believe in love.
When life was all about fun.
 
 
 
I’m waiting for the whistle blow,
here at the starting line again.
Another race and day, story the same.
One, two, three. Ready, Steady, Go!
 
I’m trying to outrun my heart.
I’m trying to outrun your smile.
But the track leads round and round, a cycle.
I’m only running to the start.
