hiding...
and seeking
looking after you
playing in the shadows
you are so near
but so far
close enough to touch
but should I?
fingertips
just barely touching
reaching out
I am tiptoeing
all around your heart
smiling and dancing
playing flutes
and slamming cardoors
enough to make the music
near your ear
beating that tiny drum
playing a rhythm
enticing
holding
bringing
playing a rhythm
with fingertips
just barely touching
reaching out
to you
