one step!
I decide not to speak my mind
not to open my heart
and then I see you walking by
I look at you and my heart aches
I call out to you
and you look sideways
you stop midway
I look around for some bush
for some wall or a tree
anything that could hide me
I run I stop I slip I fall
I try to fathom my deepest darkest corners
I see your hands stamped on the nape of my neck
I find your lips colouring my fantasies’ flights
I find your arms enclosed around my bare shoulders
I see myself in wait to listen to your footsteps for ages
I find your fingers push away hair from my eyes
I find myself weeping your tales to you
lost in thoughts I forget to look up
I forget to see you right in front of me
I fail to feel your pounding heart
just a step away from me!
