Dance
To only that sound you can hear,
To the finger snap of yourself.
Dance to the taste of kisses sweet,
Not their absence;
Dance to the touch of fingers on skin,
To the light in your eyes.
Dance away the walls;
Dance till the scales fall
And your skin is as a fresh as the air;
Dance until the tears are dry.
Dance to forget because the past can not be rewritten;
Dance to dream because the future is unknown.
Dance because you love.
Dance because you are.
