Always one step behind
Always close, but not enough
Always there, but only after
Always searching, but never finding
We took equal strides
For so short a time
And now I've lost you again
With a single bite
One step behind, yet again
One step or more
Who knows when we will meet again
If we will me again
One step behind
Is the worst place to be
