I walk around taking everything one day at a time

And there you are patiently waiting

You’re so close, I can’t breathe, I can’t think

All I see is you and your cautious eyes

Searching, but for what?

I take a step closer and you retreat

I freeze in my steps and you beckon me

Confused and haunted I stand still

My heart racing and my breath trying to catch up

And we stay like that.

Frozen and waiting for the other

Who will move first?
