Dancer; this one is for you.
* * *
Almost you and I,
always almost.
again and again.
I wonder if you recall the way,
I couldn't keep my eyes off you.
My head on your bear chest,
bodies close.
I watched you sleep
Melting into you.
It was an almost moment,
the almost moment
that started it all.
We were always on the verge of almost.
never nothing
never something
but never again.
