Bounce

I bounced this ball across the room You haven't bounced it back I threw it through the open door Into your line of attack I bounced this ball into the sky My eyes turned up above It went so high before it fell Crashing down faster than my love I bounced this ball out of my hand It skipped across the floor Rolled graciously towards your feet And yet you never saw I bounced this ball against the wall Outside the office where you sit You saw it hanging in the air But didn't dare to catch it I bounced this ball towards you With all the force I could Held your stare so you couldn't ignore So you would catch it like you should And then it stopped. It didn't move Just stayed still between you and me We stood on opposite sides I lost out to gravity. Then one day my door was open And threw the air my ball came sailing I swung my head to see your face With a smile I knew you were waiting Yet whilst the ball may bounce back and forth Between us gaining speed We pretend we're not playing this game Not knowing where it may lead So I bounced this ball towards you once With time it was returned And now we send it spinning in the air And my life has been upturned.
