The Dance (Who's Leading?)

If I understand you correctly, I should keep my distance Unless you need me Then come running To your rescue And when others are around I may be virtually ignored But when you have time for me We can laugh and reminisce But I shouldn’t say much To avoid misinterpretation Although too much distance Will make things awkward When you feel lonely Or tipsy You retreat into our friendship But when happy and confident You primp and strut, chin up and I should keep my distance. How am I doing so far?
