BackForth

We always double back 
you and I do 
we always seem to 
find some reason to 
whether good or bad 
we seem to be 
the gum or paper
on the shoe bottom 
stepped into maybe unseen 
but always under foot 
you say you do
I know that I 
find you in places 
you have never been 
a mirage you appear 
as though you should 
be there with me 
but you never are
so back we come 
and away we go 
me being the tide
and you the beach
