You have never meant to hurt me,

And that is why you have always fled.

My own pride never let you see,

My true feelings haven�t been said.

The truth is that I have been hurt.

It hurts me each time I see you.

It hurts me each time that we flirt.

It hurts each time we�re apart too.

I wish that you could understand,

That what you see as protection,

Is not at all what I had planned.

All I feel is desperation.

You may be running to protect,
