It was a dance
He took strong, purposeful steps
She shrank away with little backwards steps
She advanced in quick, cruel paces
He took hasty steps backwards
Their music were their memories…
Crickets chirping…
Birds singing…
Kimonos rustling…
The gentle sobs she made cradled in his arms…
The scent of their flower…
The soft hurt in his eyes…
The hard look of betrayal…
Love…
Pain…
Sorrow…
Guilt…
Anger…
That was their dance
Around and around they danced
Never quite meeting…
But never too far away
No matter what it was made of…
It was theirs…
Their dance of love
