I know you didn’t mean to upset me
When you said we had little in common
It’s true
Which thread connects us is a mystery
That both fascinates and scares me
What do you see when you look at me?
Lovingly I hold your gaze
But I can seldom decipher it
Your tone is still guarded and my voice still sounds fake
I wouldn't mind silence
If it didn't make me feel so small
I fear the day our paths stop crossing
The day the forest grows so thick
That we won’t find our way back to each other
I catch your hand as it comes down
In the hopes that you'll pull me closer
To your side of the world
How can I tell you I'll always be here
(We don't even know where we are)
