I swallowed those words that you spat out at me.
And I thought nothing good could come of this.
Stay five steps ahead and leave me ten back.
I don't need the distance but the time it wastes needs to be lost.
I can watch you from down the street hearing the words you whisper in the light.
Standing our ground and clutching our hearts.
I just want to see you from any angle.
The ones that my camera seem to capture so brilliantly are never real.
They sit in black frames hung on my wall.
Smiling at me.
So effortlessly.
