MY WORST ENEMY

Whom I long for

Whom I yearn for

Whom I ache for

Cares no little about me

Whom I want Joy with

Keeps saddening my heart

Whom I want to be with

Keeps staying away from me

Whom I am dying to have by my side

Keeps avoiding me

I want you to be with me

But all you always do

Is stay away from me

I want you by my side

But all you always do

Is steer clear me

I want to have your arms hung around my shoulder

But you keep me at arm's length

On my side

I say I want you to be

But you make me stay behind you

You turn your back on me

And you prevent me from looking at your face

You take your heels

And, after you I go

Yet, I am unable to catch you

DEAR TIME!

Why do you keep outrunning me?

Despite all my inexorable advances

Despite all the love I show you

Why have you chosen to be my worst enemy?
