not one waltz

you haven't danced with me

once

in nineteen years

not one waltz

not a single silly dance

in our pj's at home

just us two

it used to be funny

kind of

how upset you would get

when I tried

so I stopped

of course I did

I thought it didn't matter

so I have to ask myself

why does it hurt so much

now

after this long

that I can't fight the tears

and realise

it's not about the dancing
