Dancing With Ghosts

I danced with the ghosts of yesterday to a long forgotten tune Upon the bridge of time we swayed where bygone melodies are strewn Embracing the haunting rhapsody of cherished days gone by we waltzed to the distant melody before we said goodbye When the music played no more And no tune was left to hear Ghostly shadows moved across the floor until they disappeared Perhaps I'll dance forevermore When their favorite song is played as I move across the floor with the ghosts of yesterday
