You were just

A challenge

That's all you were

To me

I don't think

I liked you much

But wished

You wanted me

And wanting it

So badly

Needing

To prevail

Thinking

Planning

Plotting

Determined not to fail

Upset it was upsetting

I couldn't reel

You in

Approach

After approach

I tried

I wanted so to win

Yet had I really won you

If "we" had come to be

Another one would challenge

And I would set you free
