Lib Steps

The days pass
And I know I’m moving on
As I try to stay away from you
But be with you in my mind

But today I saw you
I saw you and I knew that there was something
Behind your smile
My heart stopped beating as we stood there
With glimmer in your eyes
And misery in mine
Barely an arms length from each other
But always worlds away

I reach out into nothing
And take a step away
Still focused on your face
Listening to your voice
Lost in foolish admiration

I reach out into nothing
Feeling the pain of seeing you smile at me
Knowing that when you turn away
We’ll walk further from each other
Step by step, breath by breath

And I know I won’t see your smile anymore
Until my heart stops beating again
And time stands still
And I see you smile
The glimmer in your eyes
The misery in mine
As another eternity passes
And goes.
