Evasion

She wanted something just like the real thing,
He needed love - and it all worked out somehow.
But she wasn’t always like this;
She never needed a boy.
And he wasn’t always like that.
He always had his toys.
But they were everything to each other,
Everything they ever needed.
She called on him, and he -
He called on her.
She suffered him,
And he suffered her.
She wasn’t thinking about anyone else just then,
But she knew someone would always crawl back in.
‘Cause he didn’t show her what she needed
And he was scared when they spoke about love,
So every night, she still pleaded..
That he would suffer her,
Because she would suffer him.
That he could call on her,
And she could call on him.
In that moment, they were both afraid;
They started thinking that pretty soon..
One of them would leave.
But he turned around, and as he did –
He said, I’m here for you..

And she ran and hid.
