Why I Run
1. Almost everyday I am able to see you
If for an hour or less
Or three hours or four
To have you in my life is lucky enough
But to see you so frequently
Is truly a gift from above
I cannot wait to get that that call from you
To see your two shadows cross the door
Or when your keys jangle in the lock
As the dog barks from the floor
I love all three of you and each love is new and old
But it is immense in power and strength
And shall never grow cold
Why do I run

One of my two safest places
I run swift and fast
Quiet as a hunter
Fast as a car

One of my two safest places is you
We are safe in each others arms
Although it will be I
Who will protect you from harm
Please do not worry, save it for a different day
I got you in my arms
Let’s keep it that way
Let me hear of your classes, friends, and school
And if anything troubles you
I will act like a fool
This will make you smile, I guarantee
If it doesn’t make you laugh however
You will be sorry
I will strive at anything to keep you happy
Even where I say a dirty joke
And you try to slap me
Now you are smiling let us talk of anything
Our love, our future, our luckiness, our loyalty, and dreams
For you console my nightmares, and I bring forth your sleep
Anywhere we go these arms will keep you safe
Let them be the blanket around you
They will keep you in place
They will block the cold from your body,
From the evil trying to make headway
I will rest my head next to yours
And say,
