The way your hair caressed your collar
as you held me close.
Dancing our last dance together.
The way our finger entwined
without a thought for tomorrow.
On that short walk to the end
not knowing I’d never see you smile again.
Could we have made the dance last longer
If we held each other closer.
Knowing the future would vanish
we could have been one
Just for a short time
that could last a lifetime
for the girl who treasured your smile.
