Dance Again
I want to share this dance.
I looked in your eyes and smiled,
and that’s how it all began.
A clever wink, paired with
the gentle nudge of your hand.
I spun as you asked,
as graceful as I knew how to be,
not yet knowing that with that spin,
I crossed a line I could barely see.
I didn’t know that with that spin,
I really couldn’t go back.
I didn’t know if we’d dance again,
yet I hoped we were on track.
So now I say to you,
the one I want to dance with again-
I’ll be content waiting here,
Rooted to the floor,
waiting for my chance.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Beautiful poem. You caught so many elements of love, attraction, and longing
I know those summers. I was willing to keep waiting until someone was willing to accept my core
Lovely poem
