Evergreen

if you had run
I would have run
and when you slowed to a walk
I would have cast nets and made camp
right there, wherever was far enough
you were waiting on me to say Yes
and if I had said yes
you would have started running
my silence disappoints you
but it does not mean I wish to stay
only that I've forgotten how to go
how to say Yes against the echo of No
how to jump from the tower and and not die
