Just mid-day
I'm on my way
And I see your back to me.
My heart goes out
I want to shout
And make my feelings free.

When you turn
You make me yearn
To feel you close and hold you tight,
I'm seen by you
I know it's true
But you keep on walking; I felt you might.

What's the use?
I've no excuse
To catch up to you and talk.
Just one more try
To say good-bye
And then I won't want to let you walk.

Why you go
I don't know
But my thoughts don't stop flowing.
With a grin
And some chagrin
I shut them in and keep on going.
