And so We Dance

I am dizzy from all the times you twirled me around, dancing in the bedroom tonight

The windows open, curtains fluttering in the breeze, enough of a chill for you to draw me in close

Our song on the stereo, fast enough to jump up and down to, slow enough for me to lay my head on your chest

That has always been my favorite spot, 'Your spot' as you called it

I am standing in front of you giggling as you smile, sweeping the hair away from my face

Your fingers pause and hesitate on my lips, and you pull me closer in as I lose my breath

You make me wait for it, as I silently beg, but you know I crave those moments of anticipation

My heart skips every other beat and I tremble from head to toe

Your eyes gazing into my soul, they're the most beautiful shade of crystal blue

I smell your cologne, the same one as always, I can never forget it nor do I want to

You breathe the words 'I love you' and I feel it in my whole being

I close my eyes and lean closer, needing to feel your lips on mine

I'm leaning towards you but the earth shook and I felt like I was falling

My arms fly up, reaching out for you, you always held me steady

But my arms don't connect with anything and my eyes explode open

I saw the curtain dancing in the breeze

I saw moonlight casting a glow, a sliver of light right where you were standing

And I still could not see you

The room was freezing, and I wasn't in a flowy skirt and lacy shirt

I was in an old t-shirt of yours, your favorite one

There was no music, there was no warm gentle breeze, I was so cold

I'm looking everywhere for you, spinning round and round

You didn't even make a sound

I fell to my knees and my eyes were spilling great big tears onto the floor, so quickly they fell

There I had gone again, dancing with a ghost

Romancing a phantom, pouring my heart into a delusion

How many times have I been adrift in our blissful reunions?

The moment from bliss to anguish, how many times must I endure its forbidding stroke?

I never learn, do I?  I miss your touch so tremendously…

I believe I will always contrive these intimate seconds of lost time with your ghost

I presume I will never be able to completely let you abandon me, disappearing into the abyss

No, I crave you, even just the remnants of you, those undisturbed dances

Through turmoil I will thrust myself, willfully enduring the throes of both our deaths

I will always set myself ablaze and burn for you whom I love
