I want you most when you ignore me
The way you refuse me, makes me want you more
The more you turn away, the harder I follow
It is an escalating competition of attention between us
Two opposing forces on a collision course
I make effort to get to know you deeper
While you struggle your way free from my charm
When I think I am making progress,
You teach me that I have so much more to learn

It seems I am destined to be the perpetual admirer
You are the fox that hounds never catch
Witty enough to stay ahead of the pack of pursuers
Sly to the point of elusive
I trudge my way to your heart
Tripping on every mine along the way
I bear my emotional scars proudly
Hoping they convince you of my sincerity
You know of my intentions to woo you
You accept my fumblings with unmatched grace




If there comes a time when you accept what I offer
I just might feel less strongly towards you
I have always been enthralled with the chase
Always screwing up the capture of the prize
My weakness has always been holding on to the girl
My futile attempts are laughable at best
As I pull you in, I push you out
An equal amount of force applied in each direction
I can’t have you too close
I can’t have you often enough

I’ll do whatever it takes for the chase to continue
My lust for pursuit coupled with lust for you
Leads me screaming toward an unfulfilled ecstasy
There is excitement in the way you turn your face from me
You know I’ll work harder to draw your attention
You never know just how far I’ll go
It is this question that keeps you on the run
Playing hide and seek with your affection so easily
We dance in circles like little children
Chasing each other with no desire to actually catch
