The Dance

Folder: 
Before love

Here we are

     Dancing, together

To a song

     That will echo in my head

For years.

     Upon hearing it on the radio,

I will remember this dance.

     The memory will last

Forever

     Even if love does not.

I will remember this moment

     When you were mine,

And only mine.

     I wish the music

Would never stop.

     Then I could keep you

And never share you

     With anyone else.

But alas,

     The song ends

You walk away

     Trailing love behind you.

Another '98 poem.  It's about dancing with a guy I liked a lot.
