LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT

I thought about writing you a poem about the colors reflecting off of the petals of the lavender plant. I'd've used simile and some sibilance to cement the conceit in its place. But it meant nothing to me, so I wrote this:
You,
walking on the dark sidewalk,
so close to me
that I feel the swish
as you change feet:
left
     right
left.
