Karen Alc. - The Chase

I didn’t notice you
You did notice me

I run from you
You run to me

I stop running and look back
You stop then, dead in your tracks

I look into your eyes
You begin your spell

I begin to listen
You begin to tell

I start to disarm
You’re aware of your charm

I hear, I see, I like
You hammer down your spike

I’m enthralled, I’m taken
You declare I’m mistaken

I’m intrigued, I want more
You start closing the door

I insist, I persist
You’re interest turns to mist

I’ve confused it… I was wrong
You say “no, it won’t be long'

I want you to be mine
You say we need some time

I recognize the game, the chase, it was on
You’ve conquered, you’re bored, and now you’re just gone.
