what i know

As I run away, I've come to realize
that all the fear i felt while looking in your eyes
came from within me, unbidden from my mind.
I tried to make excuses for why I had to go
I really didn't think that this is how it would go.
I didn't mean to hurt you, or make you feel so sad
but i only thought of myself
and now I've come to know just how much more I need to grow.
