if you hear me walk behind you
don't turn around

if you feel me getting closer
don't turn around

if you feel my tap
on your shoulder
don't turn around

if you do
i will fall
through the earth
to the other side
through the sky
past the twinkling lights

i will fall
through the webs
of woven dreams
and clasping hands
of fingers intertwined

i will fall
through spreading arms
and open hearts
through the earth
to the other side
through the sky

i will fall
