Try Is A Big Word

"Try is a big word."

You're flying without wings.

On gifted wings.

You need to embrace it.

You dread it.

But, you'll still try.

A certain someone.

From time to time.

That same effortless magic.

STOP.

Please, try to stop it.

You're next to each other.

An arm's length touch.

Yet an enormous elephant is between.

You sit in absolute silence.

You're both trying to fight for love.

They'd manage with the GMT.

They'd manage the worlds apart.

She wish to buy time.

For her, he'll try,

She loves him.

She likes him.

But for her....

Would they try?

The stage, her passion, her dream.

They dance, they act, they sing.

She's not quite like this.

Perhaps, she could try?

"Try is a big word."
