how to dance with someone you used to love:
step one- do not look into their eyes
you are not going to want to look away
step two- do not put your face in their chest
you will remember too many close nights
step three- do not forget that they are not yours anymore
this does not make things different
step four- separate often
if you hold on for too long it will begin to feel safe again
step five- do not fall in love
for the love of god, do not fall in love
