How come
I keep my distance
To the ones
I’d love to be close

How come
I become quiet
Next to the ones
I’d love to tell everything

How come
I look away
From the ones
I’d love to see all the time

How come
I am paralyzed
among the ones
I’d love to dance with all night

How come
I turn to ice
Among the ones
I’d love to keep warm

How come
I tremble
with the ones
I’d love to feel safe

How come
I turn my shoulder
On the ones
I’d love to embrace

How come
I am so afraid
Of the ones
I love
