Fragile Me, and You
Chase after me. And maybe after a while I'll let you catch me.
Catch me, love. And maybe soon I'll let you see me.
Look at me. I am waiting for you, have always just been waiting, waiting for you to care.
See me. Don't just stare, know me. And maybe someday I can return your gaze.
Touch me. I could let you do that...
Gently, for I might break. And please don't ever leave me.
This is a fragile bond, after all.
I reach out a hand, slowly. I might shatter.
I skim the surface of your skin and watch your eyes. You might feel that.
But you're not moving, you don't touch me, though I let you in. You don't even try.
And here I thought for a moment that you might care.
But no, it was always me chasing you, after all.
