Walk With Me

I walk you home
this Wednesday afternoon;
a step to try to know
You
amidst the honking and roaring of cars.
Sometimes I feel the whole street is
ours alone
as we talk about things and life.
But then I notice:
our pace is different.
Sometimes you walk ahead
nonchalant about the distance
and I try to catch up.
Sometimes your feet hurt
and I so badly want to walk each step
for you.
When we reach the crossing,
I guard you from the harmless threat of vehicles;
just want to keep you safe and
a reason to hold your hand.
As the destination nears,
a bittersweet feeling arises:
I enjoyed your company
but,
I don’t want to walk back –
alone.
