A Delicate Dance
We sit across
Not talking
Not flinching
I reach my hand out
and you pull away
I'm not sure
If I should pull back
Or wait for you here
Do I approach again?
Or retract?
Will we be one
Or ripped to threads?
Will you come back?
And if so,
Will you reach out?
Or will we Simply sit in silence
Not close
Not far
But not together
Yet not apart
I'm hanging
I'm waiting
And I don't know
If and when
The scale will tip,
And where we will land.
