fallen leaves and zebra prints

You're back again?

I can't seem to let go of you

Hide behind my stripes again

See me if you could try

But you never could

I'm here, sitting in the same spot

Listening to you act like I don't exist

Behind your every step

Hearing your voice when I don't want you

Seeing your tail every time I pass a corner

Listen to me, for once

Get up and on again

You cut the string that tied you to the world

For the last time

Hear it?

It's you and me

Staring back and forth

Till one of us collapses and moves along

I see your bent ears, pointing in my direction

Don't think I don't get it

Don't think I didn't realize that when I came here

See me again if you can try

Because you never ran off when you were supposed to

I'm stepping over the fallen leaves again

and I won't go till you think of me this time
