Counting The Steps Poem by Elliott Gilbert

did I wait to long
I told you the truth
but it was so long afterwards
did I miss a chance
I just am on the sidelines now
watching you pass by
ever so slowly
it seems like eternity
as your hips sway
and hair bounces
I just count your steps
one by another you drift farther away
farther and farther with each second
I try to catch up
and take a chance
but it seems your just as far
as you were before
I'm trying to figure out why
why not me
I am here for you
I care for you
but friends is all we are
friends is all we'll ever be
but baby I believe theres nobody
better than
Me
