Closer to your heart I want to get,
But farther away I see I get.
To get to you, I run faster than the wind.
But retrograde has me confused.
I dance on my toes to please you,
But the weight of my body damages them,
And bruises them too.
I only ask for one thing.
And it’s to get close to you.
What else would I want, if it’s not you by my side?
I can’t imagine life,
Without thinking of you in every breath that I take.
For one moment I want to see you,
For one second I want to touch you.
I know you’re there,
I know you hear me too.
Show yourself to me,
That’s all I ask.
I may be terrified and scared,
But your peace will keep me at ease.
I love you,
And you me.
All I ask is to grow closer to you.
Not farther away.
So forgive me if I run backwards.
If I trip while I run, I’ll get back up.
If I miss a step,
Take my hand and lead the way.
Dance with me,
Run towards me.
Hold me like no one has ever done.
Because close to you,
I want to be.
