I did.

And still,
to reach out
means a risk
means an indication
something we all
mistake

I didn't look into your eyes
for nothing
I didn't ask you what you thought
to play games
you didn't make me smile
to get anything
and still,

to reach out
means compassion
means selflessness
something we all
mistake

I didn't want to hold out my hand
because it meant too much
it could be seen
as a threat
and still,
I did.
