And We Danced

by adrienne   Nov 2, 2006


Buried under the stars,
I told you how I missed this.
Missed you.
Missed us.
I would steal the stars,
just for you to smile without faking.
You smiled.
You laughed.
And we danced.

Laughing until sunrise,
I told you that we were foolish.
We were crazy.
We were young.
I would tell you a million jokes,
just for you to laugh like you did then.
You hugged me.
You loved me.
And we danced.

Scared of the monsters,
that would come alive from movies.
Come alive from dreams.
Come alive from fears.
I would chase them all away,
just for you to sleep without nightmares.
You fell asleep easily.
You dreamt of me.
And we danced.

We grew apart,
certainly not with each other.
Not with stars.
Not with laughter.
I sometimes miss the days,
when we would stay up all night talking.
You walked away.
You walked out.
And you stopped dancing.

Now you're gone,
ripped out from my life.
My life is so different.
My life is so peaceful.
I live and worry about myself,
instead of worrying about your life.
You never cared.
You never loved.
And I'm still dancing.
