Dance With Me

There were so many things to say,

You turned to me then walked away

Our eyes had met at one point,

Your forehead I touched as if to anoint

I wanted to caress your face,

From your chin to the neck would of been the case

I might of never stopped and that you knew,

As you had that look in your eye too

There were so many things that could of gone wrong,

We both knew that so we changed the song

A glance across the crowded room,

A quick look away before eyes locked in ruin

It amazes me how we used to be 'attached at the hip',

Now we have to pull, tear and rip

Holding ourselves as friends from a distance,

Keeping out the 'would of', 'could of', 'should of' and 'what if's' with our dance.

[Coyote Poetry]

Life allow us to forget the good times that brought two people together.
"There were so many things that could of gone wrong,
We both knew that so we changed the song"
A very strong ending to the poem. The things missed are the desire we will wish to have when it is too late. A excellent poem.

life has a way of turning things upside down, in a matter of no time.. its perplexing sometimes how little it takes to create changes..
