Keep the Pace

I take a step
You take two,
I hurry to catch up with you

Do you know that I am falling behind?
Does it matter? Have you lost your mind?
Lost in thought you don’t see,
The person I clearly need to be.

I take a step
You take two
I hurry to catch up with you.

I have no strength to keep this pace
I am clearly locked in second place
Running a race that can never be
Then……………….
You stop and wait for me!
