When We Dance

"And breathe… and relax… Now stand, open your eyes, turn to face your partner… and dance."

Can you always tell me that you didn’t feel comfortable in my arms? That those endless nights and days we spent trying to climb into each others souls didn’t make you feel like you had come home to stay? That the touch of my fingers grazing your arm, your strength as you pull me to you, the sway of our hips and the pounding of our hearts - that all these things didn’t make you want the world to stop?

The breath on your neck as your hand travels so slowly up my back, the half step as I accept your invitation to move into your space and the moment we connect. The smile felt and not seen, the knowing without being told, the crystal clear and the cotton candy world, the love and the lust

That all these things, now gone, don’t make me want to make the world to stop.

Just for a moment

So I can hear the music again.
