Love's Dance

Dancing with my pain
holding her in my arms
slow and steady then twirl
and someone else has taken her hand
she dances with him until his pace is to slow for her
then back to me she comes
I dance with her again
knowing she'll leave me in a little bit
slow and steady then twirl
and another has taken her hand 
I watch as she glides with him
not remembering me
or my arms that once held her
when their music finally dies 
she lets him go
this time i say enough hurt 
but she's coming back 
and i can't help myself
as i ask for another dance with love 
slow and steady then twirl.....
