Being with you Was a trance Your presence felt electric Our relationship; A dance floor We would twist and turn Gliding our feet Me trying to mirror Your every move But I could never keep up My steps were always One beat off Never matching The ones you took Soon enough, I feel behind
I feel like I am walking on a tightrope Gently balancing myself On the thin line Between trying too hard And letting go I sway to one side More often than the other And I am finding it difficult To regain my balance
You told me that you didn’t want to hurt anyone That you don’t want a relationship Because your life is constantly changing
And though you didn’t want to hurt anyone With your constant unknowns It hurts me to think That you don’t know me well enough To know that I am someone Who will walk in to the unknown with you
Have you ever thought That someone who cares enough Would be willing to change with you
Commitment is not something I have found easy The thought horrifies me To the very core I spent my life Avoiding and pushing The thought of forever away
Yet, I don’t feel that way When I think about you With you, Forever does not seem To be enough
