first

first a step

back

and then two steps forward

next three steps

back

and the dance is over

first a mile

apart

then meeting halfway

next a mile

too much

then the difference of half a day

first a little

space

then a kissing of souls

next a forgotten

face

and the last chapter told

first a compulsive di sOrD e r

and constant willing assurance

next a drowning

lover

and a lesson learnt

first a triumphant turn-

ing

then the fall after pride

next an iron will crumbling

thank you for the ride

oh, go on.
