Slow Steps

I’m tired
I’m worn
Something’s gotta give
No matter what’s to come
No matter which road
There’ll be a period of heartbreak
I know I’ll get through it
I don’t have a choice
‘cause the only way to bypass
Would be to take my own life
I can’t do that
Not to my Babes
Or my Daddy of course
Not that I’d want to
I’d miss out on those Babes
And the good times that follow heartbreaks
But, could I get through it
Could we get through it
Or would our feet run us in different directions

I know I really care
I love you is such a strong word
And in one way, way too soon
But as in friendship, kindred spirits and such
I love you isn’t strong enough
Such short amount of time
But time doesn’t matter
It’s the heart that does the talking
Friends for me are few
But the one or two I have
Are the best I could ask for
So, if this doesn’t go anywhere
I’d still be okay
As long as friends we could remain
I’d hate to lose your words, songs and laugh
Just because we couldn’t take that path
Nice and slow
One step at a time

To see if our feet should meet
