RANDOM PATHS

I stumble in your footsteps 
because your path is not 
for me  Instead i linger in 
your shadow close enough 
to hear you say,

"follow me if you may 
 i am not leading you 
 astray " 

I don't follow and you don't 
lead, our paths are random 
life's in tandem 

Days come and go 
friendships fail or grow 
time will tell if we bond 
and gel 

Conversation between as 
pleasant as the warmth of 
a gentle breeze,
Linger a while when you talk 
I smile .
