A Due Passi Da Te

Your steps
when you leave me
sadly move away from me,

but then
when they come back to me
they have a smile within.

I know the personality
of your steps
wherever they go:
when I hear them on the stairs,
they seem to call my name.

Steps along the way
come and go
but at the end of the day
they bring you back here
sooner than possible,
happy to be here.

Steps along the way
come and go
but what I wish is
that one day they would stay
always, forever here.

From your steps
I know what mood you're in,
they tell me about you:
they are fast and a little nervous
if they accompany mine.

And if one day you stop
I'll be a few steps from you.
