Bereft

I love you not as something private and personal, which is my own, but as something universal and worthy of love which I have found. - Thoreau

Don't stop the music.

We both know what we want.

Why do we pretend?

This back and forth dance.

This game of hide and seek.

This tango of desire, cheek to cheek.

Not about the catch but the chase.

Narrowing the empty space ...

Author's Note

"Love must be as much a light as it is a flame." - Thoreau
