In The Middle

One day, I am sent a letter A letter saying you admired me for as long as you can remember Saying you are the one who wishes to love me Every day, a new letter I am sent And I send back Every day, we say and dream the same three lines Waiting to be eye to eye Lips to lips Hand to hand We work our way to meet in the middle Every day, and every step we take We see ourselves more clearly One day, I am in the middle And you are just one step away I am filled with so much love for you But something happens Once you're about to make the final step You stop And you drop my letters, all of them All that say the same three lines Waiting to be eye to eye Lips to lips Hand to hand You throw them aside Without breaking eye contact, you step away once Then again Then again What did I do for you to walk away? What did I say for you to walk away? Was I not what you wanted once were almost eye to eye? Face to face? Lips to lips? Hand to hand? I thought we wanted the same Wanting and waiting for someone Here I am in the middle All alone with my letters all scattered while I carried yours along the way I see you so far away A spec slowly walks away in the distance Here you left me all alone, waiting and wanting
