step

One step two step three step four

Step step step step
Is it really over?

All of us were there. Just us
Stepping the same
Endless paths before us
Somehow it would always be this way

Then I stepped there and you here
You and I
Different.
One step more and they are strangers to me

It hurts sometimes
A child ripped from her playthings


Hundreds of steps
Thousands of steps
Millions of steps
He stepped there


So many steps.
But not too many
I should have counted

I can’t
Lift my eyes to the stars
Hold my hand, touch my heart
Tell me the secret to make my eyes twinkle again
And then let go

I told you I wouldn’t forget this time
Step step

But I did
Tell me again will you?


My eyes averted I continue on
Step step
It hurts and I know it

Turn. Do it. I dare you
Don’t think. Remember
Step step step
