Hide and Seek

Close my eyes and count to ten,

I wish I could start over again.

You go run and hide in your place,

I wish I could choose to find or erase.

One, two...you hide in the café

Back where I met you on her birthday.

Three, four...you push and shove

to stay in my life and win my love.

Five, six...it lasts over a year

before I see there's no place for you here.

Seven, eight...you lose your mind;

all of a sudden her hands are tied.

Nine, ten...all innocence is gone,

but the game had only just begun.

Ready or not, here I come.

Open my eyes to see that you're gone,

I almost feel safe as I try to forget,

but that's because I haven't found you yet.
