He stood patiently
Tall, lanky
Trying to be strong
Trying to be strong for me
And in that moment
I knew
I was going to have to be strong
For the both of us

Will you dance with me?
Pull me close
Wrap your hands tightly around my waist
Spin me around
Or just sway in one place
Will you dance with me?

Like the wind blowing through the trees
On a warm summer day
Like little children at the park
Come out to play
Like the rumble of thunder
On a stormy night
Like the way the sun rises
Bringing light
She dances

His voice has become just noise in the background
The thoughts I lost earlier are now found
My email has been checked and replied to
I sit twiddling my thumbs not knowing what to do
I have seen all the feed on my Facebook page
I literally feel like I'm dying of old age
I try to make sure my notes are neat
Trying to stop my head from nodding off to sleep
I have done everything I needed to do
Except what I'm supposed to be doing
