One step. Each moment

I got up and took a step.
I sighed and took another.
I had so much to do so I took another because it became a habit.
In my joy, I yet took another one.
In my sorrow, I didn't know what to do, so I took another.

Each moment I took a step.
A step away.

And in my steps away, I kept yearning for You to not go anywhere.
And in the passing of moments and feeling Your Absence each moment, I kept wishing for You to stay.

Lest had I realized.
If only had I thought of.
If only had I whispered, Let me not go anywhere. For You were there, as I took a step away each second.
