Dance

You take my hand is yours 

It begins in a elegant ballet

It usually turns into a passionate salsa.

Then when I go for the lift some you don't catch me and I crash on the floor.

You get out of the rhythm and step on my feet.

I try to be patient waiting for you to remember our dance.

One day I noticed you were not trying and did not want to follow my lead.

You gave up on our dance  and left me  to dance a solo facing the world's music alone.

I wait again for another partner so I can again dance a beautiful duet.
