Your laughter lingers then it fades Every word a shadow every glance a maze I reach for you but you pull back slow Every step forward I don't know where to go

Stay close yet don't come too near Every whisper cuts through the unclear I want to understand but I can't see Every step you take confuses me

I crave your warmth but you build walls Every step forward another stall I don't want to guess I want to know Every shadow of you makes the feelings grow

Lean in but don't let me fall, Every pause, every word I feel it all I want your light but I fear the shade Caught in the storm of signals you've made

Grey area where nothing's black or white, Mixed signals keep me awake at night. Your eyes say stay your words say go

Every motion leaves me not knowing.
