The summary line was not thought up by me but by my friend Yun Yun (cats and ncis obsessed)

So you can thank her for this

I get that it's pretty cruddy

But bare with me

I'm quite overtired and needed to write

(;;)

I saw you from a distance that day

The fateful day

You told me you didn't need me

I saw you through the walls that I created

The armour to protect my heart

But even from behind them

I could tell

I always know when you are lying.

You just wanted to stop the pain,

The pain from your shields

Your shields clashing with mine

The shields,

The shields died.

So soon after they were born

(;;)

You hide alone

Within the very darkness you're running away from

The darkness that could overtake you

The darkness that wants nothing more than to blacken your eyes and smother your heart

The darkness that you're letting overwhelm you

You don't realize that the darkness shows

Your beautiful face tainted by the night

And your tears that could melt through metal

Because they've been burning behind your eyes for so long

(;;)

I know that everything you're doing is for me

I know that the only reason you're pushing me away is for my protection

I know you want me to be free of you

I know you want me to be free of everything

You want m to be free

To be free

Freedom

Did you know the ultimate freedom is being loved by no one?

(;;)

We keep dancing

As though we know the steps

As though we know our next move

I say "our" because the next stage must be taken together

You try to walk faster

I'll keep to your pace

You know I will

You keep running because you know I'll always follow
