They cheer when I walk to the crease.
They would pray if they knew what lives inside me.

On the field they call me calm, disciplined, a hero.

They don't see the other part, the one that doesn't hesitate when lines are crossed and doesn't believe in mercy.

I knew her long before the world taught us to stand on opposite sides.

She belongs to the one name I was taught to hate.
Which means wanting her is a sin....and I still do.

I shouldn't watch her.
I shouldn't stand too close.
I definitely shouldn't have touched her.

Because once I start chasing...I don't stop, and she's the only thing I was never supposed to claim.

She can stand against me all she wants....she's still mine to chase.

This isn't a love story.
It's a collision, between a promise I made to the dead and a girl I was never allowed to want.

Soon she'll learn why I came back into her life.
And when she does....she won't run.

She'll stand.
And I'll still be the danger.
