the lost & the found

1.
follow u down
a crowded street
not 2 far behind,
but just out of reach
u know that i'm there,
but u don't turn around
instead we play a game
of the lost & the found

2.
i admire ur body
as u turn a corner
watch u disappear
so I text u 2 warn ya
not 2 stray 2 far
from what lies ahead
4 with every 1 of ur steps
u become more mine instead

3.
as i follow
ur every move
i catch a glimpse
of ur hips so smooth
the perfect curves
that Defy description
& start 2 imagine
me dancing with them

4.
as time moves on
u increase ur pace
certain in the knowledge
that i love the chase
& endeavour 2 b
right there by ur side
b4 u reach ur door
& lock urself inside

5.
so nows my time
2 move much closer
i Shorten the gap
& try 2 phone ya
whisper some words
so that u can hear
that with every step
i'm drawing near

6.
i'm much closer now
just a stretch of my arm
is all it would take
2 feel my palm
upon the shape of ur back
2 grab hold of ur shoulder
turn u around
& with both my eyes hold u

7.
but instead i pull back
because i know in my mind
that if i reach out an arm
it would 4ever change time
i could never let u go,
never let u return
2 the life that u lead
with a candle that burns

8.
so now i slow down
watch as u walk away
stop walking, stand still
smile 2 myself & then stay
with my eyes fixed on u
as u slowly disappear
blend back in2 the crowd
because I love u my dear
