Beat by beat
We find some ticking time
Each of us waiting for the bomb
To drop.
Dance some wicked tango
Meant to try to keep us safe
Safe from sadness and regret and some
Measure of heartbreak.
Beat by beat
Our footsteps sync in time.
No matter how we wander
Keep drifting back in line.
I hope you understand
I don’t know which way this goes
All I can ever focus on is
What’s right before my toes.
Beat by beat
More and more.
Patience trust and courage
Tell me it’s all worth it
Not even in the end, but just for now.
I try to do one thing that frightens me.
Every day.
And then someday,
Being in love won’t frighten me so much.
