Missing out once, <br />Stepping away because afraid, <br />But now it's ok, <br />Ready to be touched, <br />Again and again. <br />Catching in space of time, <br />Satisfied with letters, <br />Only for a second, <br />Willing to try it, <br />Over and once more. <br />Standing or sitting outside, <br />Stopping very quietly, <br />Asking a quick question, <br />I dare not hear an answer. <br />Lifting up the other hand, <br />Picking up a pencil, <br />I wonder what's new <br />and what is not? <br />' I! ' <br />Missing out once, <br />Stepping away because afraid, <br />But now it's ok, <br />Ready to be touched, <br />By you and me: <br />' I!
