Should I have chased?
Should I have chased when I saw you run?
It was more of walk at the time when I spun
To see you gone; thought you wouldn’t go far off,
Within arm’s reach, but you didn’t stop.
Did I care? Was I naive?
Thought it wasn’t my business, you see;
Thought your life would have gone
Just the same as with me. Was I wrong?
