You said I was the only step, but you always took one back.. Never walking us forward, excuses, like I had to tie my laces, or my feet ache you walk on. But I never looked back, and you never moved forward. We were a distance apart but I'd only took one more step than you. But one can equal more when its not synchronized with your heart. The next day, you had walked off, we weren't even walking in the same postcode... I took of the shoes I wore when we walked, and now I'm bare foot. But you know what I'm walking further without you. My perception isn't clouded by your backward footing. I'm free to walk without the pleasure of having to look backwards.. Just walking onward without pausing to see who cares how far my footsteps have wondered,. I'm strolling at my own pace passing with no goodbyes.

You Never Walked Beside Me...
You said I was the only step, but you always took one back.. Never walking us forward, excuses, like I had to tie my laces, or my feet ache you walk on. But I never looked back, and you never moved forward. We were a distance apart but I'd only took one more step than you. But one can equal more when its not synchronized with your heart. The next day, you had walked off, we weren't even walking in the same postcode... I took of the shoes I wore when we walked, and now I'm bare foot. But you know what I'm walking further without you. My perception isn't clouded by your backward footing. I'm free to walk without the pleasure of having to look backwards.. Just walking onward without pausing to see who cares how far my footsteps have wondered,. I'm strolling at my own pace passing with no goodbyes.
