Path by Valerie Parente

I chose the path but you chose to lead the way
footprints in the dirt recording what I say
you were walking ahead with your back to me
I was out of breath trying hard to breathe
you were nervous because you thought I was going to catch up and catch on
but the truth is my mind is already three steps in front of it all.
