the dance

it is a delicate dance, this
careful sidestep, this careful
hiding.
I step -- you step
away
I twirl closer -- you twirl
away you
taunt with promises of
honesty and
friendship but really
- really -

if you do not want me, then you will
have to tell me.
otherwise i will
never give up i will
make the musicians play all
night until we get this
right. Step, one, two -
and join hands. Step, one, two -
speak.
your turn.
shall we
dance?
