every day in dark beginnings
we stand on sidewalks side by side
as we approach I clear my throat
hoping that our feet collide
and maybe if I stand so still
it can be just you and me
my heart is racing from the thrill
a hopeless possibility
you said my name and spoke a line
and quick i was to answer
but you and I have words too shy
to speak like graceful dancers
i see you and you see me
but do you really understand
how every second I pretend
that these near moments I can stand
to stand beside you,
composed on my own island.
