Graze

1 step 2 step I follow you

3 step 4 step you skip ahead

Why does it feel like I'm running

When all you're doing is walking

Cold air rushes against my hand

Empty empty empty

I never realized the moment you let go of my hand

No warm bodies around me

They're all so far ahead

Wait for me I can't reach

The clock is ticking

The gap isn't closing

When did you get so fast

Me you me you me you

You me you me you who's she

This world used to be 2 lone souls

Now there's a 3rd pulling you forward

Is Tug-of-war supposed to be this brutal?

Hold my hand like you once did

Carry me on your back like you once did

Wait up for me like you once did

Pull me towards this light you've found

I want to discover as well

Don't release my hand

I don't want a gap between our palms

Why must the graze of our fingers be a moment of the past?
