Walking Behind
Love's Pursuit: A Journey of Fear and Longing
Lyrics
She's running and he's walking behind
Describes a situation where a woman is running, and a man is walking behind her.
He's trying but he's last in her line
The man is making an effort, but he's at the end of her priorities or attention.
His love's dying but he keeps on tryin'
Despite his love fading, the man persists in his efforts to connect with her.
He lives in fear with a love that's clear
The man lives in fear due to a clear but challenging love situation.
(He's walking behind)

He's got love that he needs to give but she's afraid to let him in

To her world with no together

She can't see him in her picture
