Journey

One step, two steps,
And you're taken aback. 

Three steps, four steps, 
And you're boarding the deck. 

Five ticks of the clock, then six, 
You realize time isn't infinite.

Seven ticks, eight ticks, 
You do, you laugh,  you cry and regret. 

Nine booms, heartbeats, they are synced.
I can hear what you want to say.

Ten days, ten months, ten years,
However long, we'll finally let go.
