Analysis of Love On The Run
There once was a time
when you lived on the inside
When you pierced my veneer,
and saw what I saw
You knew what I knew,
and felt what I felt
Your thoughts were my thoughts,
your words finished mine
There once was a time
when our circles were one
Two spirit's concentric,
our soul's overlaid
That time has now passed,
the feelings have gone
Both circles left broken,
—with love on the run
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)
