That which was once crossed
and intertwined
has been unraveled,
untangled,
by time
it pushes us forward,
further along
into new and out of old routines
This is what it means to be apart for you and me
Everyday within my reach, within 100 ft
but these paths run parallel
they never meet
This is what it means not to know you,
not to know me,
not to know.
Watching the people
the passersby
makes me nervous
and anxious
I run and I hide as if
I am a child and this is a game
of hide and seek
can't let you run into me.
What are you trying to avoid?
(There is no reason)
What are you trying to avoid?
(These paths don't meet)
So what are you trying to avoid?
