**Push**

I felt there was this invisible force  
Pulling us closer together

Almost by accident  
Very tenuous, close to invisible

Then suddenly, intertwined  
I never wanted it to end

Then, just as suddenly, apart  
As if nothing had ever happened

I started pushing myself  
Trying to become who I wanted

You wanted to keep me safe from you  
So you pushed me away

I understand why you did it. At least I think I do. You don't want to place the burden of you on someone else, or what you think is the burden of you.

I never got frustrated with it - because I'm the same. I have to learn a lot about myself first.

We probably have the same fear. That we'll be late. That we'll be late for each other, for someone else, for whoever.

We have our journeys to get to where we want. Maybe I wanted us to walk it together too much. Maybe it's better we keep our own paths, and if we meet somewhere, we do. And if we don't, we don't.

Maybe tomorrow...
