Two steps forward

Two steps forward,

one step back. 

We’re moving, aren’t we?

 

Let’s find out where this path

will take us. 

Step by step.

Just never take the bus. 

 

It’s not easy. 

But that’s part of it all. 

Isn’t it?

 

Let’s face this adventure. 

Let’s make it last. 

Are we living the moment?

Forgetting the past?

 

Two steps forward,

one step back. 

Another hill, a trail, a river. 

Evening shiver. 

 

A hot shower.

Dinner. 

Snuggling up. 

 

It’s the most basic things.

We’re caring for. 

Each other. 

 

The others.

Former strangers. 

Newly won friends. 

 

Unashamed. 

Fearless.

No make-up on. 

 

Only mascara. 

Leaving a trail. 

Of tears. 

 

Will there be a happy ending? 

For us?

For them?

For everyone?

 

It’s never really over. 

Is it?

The end marks a new beginning.
