Do you mind?

I just need to step back for a moment.

  Recognizing a feeling.

Consider it taking a breath.

You look perplexed,

   maybe even offended.

It is not a case of boredom,

  or even distaste.

     Merely retreating for self-preservation.

I look around,

  and start losing focus.

Drifting farther apart with every moment.

  So I need to stop.

Concentrate on one moment,

  and not get lost in the beauty.
