The I Don'T Know Dance

What are we? Who are we to each other? What is us? What does the word mean when either of us says it? What does it mean when neither of us can say it? What is this? What is this thing we are not naming? What is this? Is it love if we don’t acknowledge it? How long will we stand and pretend we don’t hear the song our hearts are playing. How long will we fight this? How long will we stop this beautiful thing from evolving? How long will your heart’s ache go untended? How long will my heart’s call go unanswered? When will we both grow up? Why can’t we love like children? How long will we stay guarded? When will we stop being so careful? When will we let go? When will the answer stop being ‘I don’t know’? Oh but there’s hope. One day we will play. One day we will laugh. One day we will love. One day you will be mine. One day I will be yours. One day we will be us. I know this. One day when your guard is down, I will creep into Your heart and we will dance the song of forever.
