The dance

The moon hit the sky,

and way before that,

you were already in it. 

You could blame alcohol. 

You won't, darling.

You blame the eyes and the smiles.

The laughs and the spilled glasses. 

The unlocking of hearts.

The shared darkness. 

The unsaid parts.

You blame the silence and the words written on paper.

The cooking and the playlists, the singing and the banter.

The immediate presence that left worries or plans for later. 

You blame the hours turning to past,

you blame the clock you didn't mind spinning.

The stories of designs scratched on the skin 

and the tales that tattoed your hearts from the very beginning. 

You blame the lips, the kisses, the touch.

The desperation voiced in a whisper.

The remarkable absence of decency, 

and the longing for, just one more, round of twister. 

You blame the forced rhymes and even the unforced ones too, 

you try to blame something. 

It seems like the right thing to do. 

But you know what?

You can't blame flow and life is flux. 

Get high on every moment, feel every rush. 

The heartbeats, as you go, will light up the way,

as long as you feel them, know all is okay. 

Watch the moon, little girl, long for the boy watching it too,

you're not weak for that, you're just being you.

The path may be wild, but it's fine, my darling. 

One day, all the answers, in it, you will find.
