Why Today?

Today you saw me there

I don't know what you were thinking

But I just wanted to run away

You come up and give me a hug

It's the last thing I want

But I can't do anything as you say

"It's been a while since I've seen you"

And when you say that it makes me want to cry

So instead I return with a comment that makes you say,

"Okay, goodbye"

It's so hard for me to hear your voice

And I think maybe I would've lasted

If you hadn't been there at all

But for some strange reason

I'm looking for you later that day

It seems I never learn

Though what I mostly want

Is to see you without you seeing me and

To be near you without being hurt

However, it's nothing but a dream

Because I don't think I can be near you

Without wanting to die


This is only my second poem and I'm still not sure if it's any good, so please review if you can.

Thanks,
