There are times

There are times we’re reminded that life is unpredictable and that what every time we feel we have it figured out, we are surprised by a revelation.

There will always be the inevitable things in life that we can never truly prepare for but we learn to accept as part of being alive.

But there are times when you are reminded that being human isn’t as vapid as we sometimes feel and that there are random events that cause moments in life that you never knew you needed.

There are times when you’re humanity is touched by the soul of another and your mind speaks a language that only theirs can decipher.

There are times you can speak without words and their voice echos in your head and you could care less what it’s saying just as long as it’s speaking to you.

There are times that you can forget all that you question and over analyze and just accept that what this is is absolutely nothing but a moment that can last a minute or a lifetime.

There are times when you can’t put into words or theories what you’re feeling because for once you tell that side of your brain to shut the fuck up and you live in that moment.

There are times you just forget all that’s wrong and you feel just right and even though it may only last but a second, you’re ok with that because for that second you know your worth.

And there are times when you will look back and remember these times and you’ll start to ask questions like “what if” or say to yourself “I should have” and when those times come, don’t bother and just smile and remember what you shared.

Our Song

Tonight we danced like we danced so many years ago.
We stood on the dance floor and as the music played and we danced, I could feel a distance between us.
I held your body close to mine but it was your heart that was far.
We moved to the music as if we were on auto-pilot and drifted to the rhythm like lost ships in the night.
The song began to fade and as we pulled apart and as we did we both had half felt smiles across our faces.
As we started to head off the floor an old familiar tune began to play over the speakers.
You kept walking inattentive to the melodic call of the song.
I reached out for your hand and when I touched it I felt a spark and my heart began to race.
It raced the way it did the night we met and your fingers grazed my arm.
You stopped and turned towards me and with a puzzled look stared at me.
I smiled at you the way I did the first night we kissed in front of the coffee shop.
I drew you closer and you still couldn’t hear the song.
You began to speak and say something about being tired.
I put my finger to your lips, pointed up, and pulled you closer.
You looked at me and your eyes brightened and you smiled and as you came closer I could smell your hair and your perfume.
It smelled as lovely as it did the first time we danced together so many years ago to this very song.
I held you so close afraid that if I let go you’d vanish or this would have all just been a dream.
You pretended to let me lead but we both knew you were always the better dancer.
With every step we took tonight I relieved a day in our lives.
I forgot a step or two and along the way I forgot the moment when we fell in love.
We both forgot that moment.
The moment when we both knew that our dance would last forever because the music our hearts made was all we would ever need.
We swayed to the melody and at one point we both began to whisper the lyrics.
I lifted your head of my chest and as we both mouthed the words of the song I wiped away a tear from your eye.
I wiped away this tear because I was a fool to not wipe away the others.
I was a fool to not notice when you shed them and I was a fool to not notice you.
You kept looking at me and instead of mouthing the lyrics you mouthed the words “I’m sorry.”
You weren’t sorry for what you had done but for what you hadn’t done.
You weren’t sorry for what you had said but sorry for what you hadn’t said.
And you weren’t sorry for not loving me but for not showing me as frequently as you should have.
Once again I put my fingers to your lips, pointed up, and and pulled you closer.
We danced for what seemed like an eternity but was only a few short minutes.
But in those few short minutes we danced our way back into being in love.
We danced to our song and when our song was over we kept dancing.
We kept dancing to the music that our hearts made because that’s all we ever needed but had forgotten to dance to.
