IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE, THEY STILL DANCE

In Another Universe, They Still Dance
In another universe,
they sway hand in hand.
Dancing on moon dust,
in a silver dreamland.
Stars hum their blessing,
the Earth fades from view,
two souls in forever,
where love feels brand new.
No gravity binds them,
no ending,
no soon just endless soft laughter,
dancing on the moon.

I sit in the dark
Her breath warm on my lap
Watching the way sleep softens her face
I have never seen beauty like this
I have fallen for her so hard
Words scatter in my mouth
She is breathtaking
I write letters in the hush
Pages for her to find when she wakes
My thoughts curling around her like a blanket
I wonder; “How did I finally find my forever?”
Just after midnight she wakes and texts me “Babe, you moved me to tears, your letter. I felt you in every word. I haven’t been this happy in forever.”

How did we become strangers?
Inside the story we wrote together
Why weren’t my words
My hands
My hope
Enough to keep her close?
I love her so deeply, she will never know
She’s gone now
Moved on from us
But I am still here
Lying awake
Revisiting April nights
When she was the answer
To every silent question
I ever asked the dark
