The Chase (Catch-and-Release)

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

It was a back-and-forth;

you pursued me 

and I pursued you.

 

And when we kissed,

it mimicked the chase.

 

I fell for you

hook, line and sinker. 

 

You told me you had

caught feelings too,

but that wasn't true at all. 

 

Our dynamics changed;

you stopped being a nice guy 

and wouldn't let me speak my peace.

 

You said your goodbyes

and walked away,

not realizing I was still hooked
