Counting and Losing

When I walked away,

I counted every single step that I took-

Sometimes rushing on,

Sometimes taking my time,

Sometimes even stopping

To get a glimpse of what I left behind.


I counted a thousand steps

Knowing deep in my heart

Wishing from beyond the universe

That those steps would bring me back to you-

That I just had to turn around, and run,

And count a thousand steps 

To bring me back to you.


But I now know-

Going back a thousand steps

Won't bring me back to you,

For you've walked away

Just as I did.


So I walk on-

On and on-

Losing count-

Not slowing down-

Not stopping-

Not turning around-

And,


Letting go-


I'm not counting anymore.


Losing you-


I'm letting myself go.
