Superman

You say it’s so important:
The saving of the world.
But what if she were in it
and compliments you hurled -

And then you kept on going
running far away,
because she was too special
you knew you couldn’t stay.

What happens if you slow down
and let in someone new?
Have you ever thought that this could be
something you would do?

I know you have your goals and dreams,
she does, too, I know -
don’t you see that you could have
your dreams and still not go?

You could love her and be free -
I’ve heard it can be done.
Just take a chance and try it!
Who knows? It might be fun.

To love it is to flourish,
and still let things fly free;
but next time that you run so far
please leave your heart with me.
