Like a cool breeze in the summer heat of Spain,
you circle me with diligence,
round and round and round
until I'm dizzy.
Every footstep is a mark of territory,
ricocheting through the air,
I’m captive in your lair,
a spy bound to one of your chairs.

My mission?
Figuring you out.

You halt in front of me
and those sniper dots of eyes are drilling into mine,
searching my motive.
Where do my loyalties lie?
As your breath traces the features of my face,
delicate like lace,
I’m trembling like a leaf,
staring down the barrel of a shotgun —
our love.

You're testing me again.

But I'm not afraid of you,
which you like,
I see it in your face,
your sparkling eyes
are aroused.
And I remember,
we’re the cat and the mouse
and this is another one of your games.

The seductive chase,
the heist,
is an endless labyrinth through space and time.

You want me to take charge now that you've caught me again.
It’s my turn,
no need to waste any time,
because catching each other around the world
in this perpetual cycle of fight or flight
is the ultimate prize.

Mesmerized,
I can’t tell who’s winning.
