Forever Stepping Back

There have been so many times I’ve had to pretend I don’t really love you - That 
somehow I don’t really care if you love me back or not - All the while knowing…I 
love you far too much

So I asked myself how many times have I fallen back in love with you…

So many I can’t recall them all - I wonder why we keep stumbling into this 
strange cycle - Each claming a false indifference to the love we know we feel for 
each other - Each afraid the other will gain a hidden advantage in a pointless 
struggle in which we are both maneuvering for position by FOREVER STEPPING 
BACK…
