the song i didn't write

dancing

i swear...

going through the motions together
in a rhythm
unbroken
except for the usual mistakes
taken into out stride
literally (so it seems)
a pause
before the foot falls
before the hands touch
a smile
at our silliness
twirling in opposite directions
travelling
perhaps
to the heart
it's all a rhythm
the sound
a beat
before this dance
the dance (of our lives)
draws to a close

holding me
watching you

~

and for a while
it seemed like i really would cry
breaking out of the shell of serenity
as i descended
as i always had
except with a (somewhat) small difference
i wouldn't look up
it was so silly
even as i had changed
it was impossible
looking behind me
realising that

and once again it was a walk
a walk of loneliness
only this time
it was also a walk
of farewell

~
