   You are in standing in front of me asking me a simple question

and I reply



yes

with h e s i ti a t i o n

to make you think that I didn't need this

so badly

and we sleep-walk in circles

in oblivion to our surroundings.

I am fascinated by you

Someone is singing about a broken heart and I feel like

crying

it seems as though it is just us

I look

around to see that

everyone is on the same level as I am.

But I sense s a d

nes

s

within you and You

won't tell me WHY

and I glance at you but there are no

tears

dancing on your face,

so explain why your

body

is

cry

in

g

and I wish only to save you

but I am unable

to do anything

except

sleep-walk

in tiny circles

with

YOU
