made the running
filled in the gaps
all in my head
I was lonely
but did not know that
& a smile a kiss
some time spent together
could make me think
what we had was more
than it ever was
& it took me so long to get there
I had yet to learn to surrender
get to be good with me
& that takes some time
& the next one you meet
who thinks you will do it all
the running the thinking
filling in the gaps
gets the surprise
you
are not like the others
