the way you make me feel

13. let her go

my heart was hammering against my chest.

the song played.
the same song that I had danced to her with.
i imagined her in my arms.
her stepping on my feet and apologising, her dark hair hiding her face.

then slowly,  she would wrap her arms around my neck and sway.
sway
and
sway

but as the song finished, she wasn't there.
she was never there.

i had let her go a long time ago.
