Close to U

A-1000

Saw you again on the corner street

Moving slow, like you’re scared of me

Eyes that flicker, steps that pause

You’re a little ghost I can’t unsee

 

 

But you linger just close enough

Like you’re testing how far to trust

And I pretend I didn’t feel

The way your glance made time stand still

 

 

Are you getting closer?

Or am I just dreaming too much?

Like a cat in the alley, you run when I rush

But I feel your heartbeat, through all the hush

Will you ever reach back

When I reach for your touch?

 

 

You don’t say much, but your silence speaks

Like the sound of waves beneath your feet

You shift near, then slip away

But I still wait at the edge each day

 

 

Even shadows can't hide the light

When your warmth drifts into the night

You trace the line, you don’t cross through

But I’m still standing here for you

 

 

Are you getting closer?

Or am I just dreaming too much?

Like a cat in the alley, you run when I rush

But I feel your heartbeat, through all the hush

Will you ever reach back

When I reach for your touch?

 

 

No sudden moves, I’ve learned your pace

But darling, love’s not always safe

You don’t have to run or hide

You’re already on my side

 

 

Are you getting closer?

Or am I just dreaming too much?

You move like a whisper, but I feel the rush

Will you ever take my hand

When I hold it out in trust?
