Hide and Seek

I remember the first time I learned the game hide and seek.
You hide and then people come looking for you.
People are supposed to come looking for you.

Nobody actually counted to 100,
They were too excited to find you.

Nobody actually hid,
They all wanted to be found.
I knew I was good at hiding.

So we played hide and seek,
Then we got older.
We still played hide and seek.

We started counting days or weeks,
Then got too excited to find each other.

We starting hiding our hearts and our minds,
Secretly wanting to be found.

One day I decided to truly hide,
Nobody would find me.
Nobody would find me.

After days behind a tree I realized something,
Nobody was looking for me.
People were supposed to be looking for me.

I thought the game was over,
Maybe it ended a long time ago,
I let go of the game.

My hiding place was a beautiful forest,
I saw the sky for the first time.
I knew I was good at hiding.

Every now and then I remember the game,
Am I still hiding?
Is anybody seeking?
