Serendipity

I never liked you more than when it hurt to speak your name,
And I said this was my last, I'd never write of love again.
But I always got a rush whenever we would play this game.
I could chase you down forever, and yet still I feel no shame.

And I can't believe I finally let the words escape.
I kept them in so long I felt that my mouth had been taped.
And I hope that you and I never have to clean the slate.
Because this is a good place to start, even if we have to wait.

I signed the same each time, hoping that you'd see.
The question on my mind: was this to be or not to be?
And I hoped that I could refer to you and I as "we."
I will continue to search, search for serendipity.

I never hated you more than when it felt good to speak your name.
And this is not my last, I will write of love again.
And I want to feel another rush, I've finally won the game.
One day I'll tell you how I feel and I will feel no shame.

I finally told you how I feel, a new start to our little game.
