Will you be my dance partner?

Will you be my dance partner?

A Poem by Matthew Quinanola
"

Thoughts a little someone that doesn't wanna leave my head

"

“Will you be my dance partner?”

The six words that started it all

Never knew never thought

never even imagined...

that we would fall,

fall from a place i called paradise

thinking what we had would suffice

no, no it did not...

thinking we could run away

be with each other every day

no, no we cannot...

i thought i could take your heart back

no, no i cannot...

but if there is a chance,

a chance for me to re-enter paradise

and be with you once again

please, let me know...

if there is a wait

please tell me a date

im a patient man

ill do whatever i can

please, let me know...

if there’s anything you need

ill do anything for you still

even if i have to bleed

please, let me know...

if there something you want someone to hear

im always here to be your listening ear

please, let me know...

my heart i always open for you

please, let me know....

if someone is hurting you

and there’s nothing you can do

ill do whatever i can to save you

tell me, please tell me...

if you’re feeling hungry

maybe for sushi or chicken teriyaki

and you don’t wanna get up

i can pick you up some Kabuki

tell me, please tell me...

feel like going out?

but don’t wanna wander about?

i know a route

tell me, please tell me...

if there’s too much stress on your mind

ill do anything to help you unwind

tell me, please tell me...

if there’s something keeping you up at night

tell me, please tell me

this whole thing isn’t easy

i can’t think of anyone else for me

there’s no one else who can give me the same kind of peace

i need you...

i just want this pain to stop

even if it’s only for a little bit

i’ll down a bottle of rum

how am i not in an insane asylum?

i need you...

i always have a sudden urge to run

hopefully someone shows up behind me with a gun

i still hate myself for what i’ve done

i need you...

something is always keeping me up at night

something on my mind, it’s making my chest feel tight

i need you...

i don’t feel the same anymore

i need you...

getting up is always a battle for me now

even finding something to do is a struggle

why do i feel like anything is do is pointless?

i want to be with you...

something doesn’t feel right

the sun is too bright

the moonlight makes it dark

i’m always looking for the same star

i want to be with you...

why does everything remind me of you?

pencils, shirts, cats. food,

why do i still love you?

i want to be with you...

i could have all the girls from SNSD

but what’s the point? im still not happy

i want to be with you...

thinking about you, make it stop

i want to be with you...

But more than anything

i want you to be happy

even if you dont want me

if it’s a waste wait

not even a date

i’ll still wait

you told me to be safe

i wont touch that cigarette and smoke

that whiskey and water and drink

but ill stay out of that insane asylum so i can be there for you

you need something, but ill need to bleed for it

don’t worry my bleeding will stop eventually

still can’t sleep? me neither, ill stay up with you

don’t need to say something for someone to hear?

it’s okay, ill just listen to your heart and thoughts

don’t need my heart?

it’s okay, it’s still always open for you  

nobody is there to hurt you?

well you never know so ill remain vigil

not feeling hungry?

ill get something for later then

don’t wanna go out?

i have netflix, food, and a blanket

not feeling stressed?

well ill find a way to entertain you still

you’re gonna go to sleep?

ill make you breakfast in the morning

why did you have to be the one that makes my heartbeat,

the one that makes me think,

the one that makes me question faith,

the one that makes me want to die for,

why?

why you?

im so happy it’s not anyone else,

but why you?

because i love you so much

i hurt you

i didn’t know what to do

i took you for granted

and i couldn’t keep our promise

we were so young and so dumb

but no matter what, i still love you

i could live for a million years

be with a million different people

but no matter

my heart will always remember you most

and when our paths cross again

i will be the one to ask

“Will you be my dance partner?”
