Stretch your arms,
Embrace as much as you can,
When you can stretch your arms
Why do you restrain yourself?
Loving oneself isn't wrong
But rejecting someone who longs!
I try to embrace
You, slipping out of my grip
Thinking as I'm imprisoning you
And squeeze you to death.
I know, over-gripping makes breathlessness
But running away makes you feel the same.
I'm not to hurt anybody
But trying to live and let others do the same.
...being confined can be good or bad.
