Why Did You Run?

Why did you run away? You knew I needed you, yet you ran. You heard my cry, yet you ran, you saw my helplessness, yet you ran. You told me you were here, but no, you weren’t.  You said “call on me any time, I will answer”, but you did not answer. You saw me coming and you ran. You said you will be my friend, but you weren’t.  You are not unfriendly but you weren’t my friend. I wanted you, you could tell.  Or could you not? I doubt it! Were you busy, yes you were, but that is not it? You had to run.

Why did you run? I keep asking, where you running to something, no! You were running away from me. But Why? What is so scary about me? No, I am not scary. I stir up something in you. My energy conflict with yours? Does my person intimidate you? But you have it all! Maybe it is not about me, maybe it is about you, maybe you are not running from me, maybe you are running from you, maybe you don’t want to be seen. But what are you hiding then?

Now, I know why you ran, now I know why you ran! You are not running from me, you are running from me seeing you. My eyes are too prying and you don’t want to be seen. You are right, I do see you, and you are good, you are very good, you are okay, you can stay, you don’t need to run anymore.
