You move me like a landslide,
You move me like the winds fingers through the trees you adore.
You move me like the rush of cold water when you jump into the pool
You move me like my childhood revisited,
You move me like a small animal in a California forest fire.
You move me like the rush of singing
You move me like my left leg when I skate.
You move me like a surprise spray of water from a hose.
You move me like my father
You move me like the sea breeze
You move me like the smile of unfamiliar children's smiles.
You move me like the smell of cookies in the oven.
You move me like a funeral service
You move me like the loss of a great man, woman, child, leader, pet.
You move me like a hug from you when I'm down
You move me like a body falling from a plane with no parachute
You move me.
It's you that keeps these feet moving
You move me
You move me
You.

You're quick to drop me,
Send me spiraling down
When I reach the bottom of the string,
You let me spin alone,
Until you're ready to pull me back into your hand.
I'm used to this,
Or
So I'd like to say.
Because you've dropped me twice now.
I understand you need space,
But the force of this spin is pulling my feelings away.
The longer you wait the further I'll be.
It won't be as easy to pull me on try three.
