just as I was leaving

you found me again

now we’re right back

onto that same track

 

you make me want to stay

you make me want to go

wherever you decide now

I’ll figure out how

 

each with a foot out the door

we found an anchor of hope

like a welcoming homecoming

a reminder of becoming

 

when we lost touch then

we lost our way to stay

yet here at a crossroads now

we have place to share our odes

 

you kept in my time

feelings ticking on your wrist

a subtle reminder of me

and what we may not see to be

 

while I tucked away mine

let the hands fall still

waiting for a chance to tick

yet on your day it’d stick

 

 

 

 

because once we reached

our time coincided

the days the same

despite what the calendar said
