I should have danced with you. I should have been taken into your arms, To be your princess, In your moment of need. But there is nothing, No sound of music playing in the background, No dimmed lights to lead the way, Just two bodies, disconnected through time; One lost. The other, longing to bring love and happiness into the dark corners that slowly envelop her. I have a picture, of you and I. So long ago, So carefree, So oblivious. I have only an old picture, from back then, To keep my memories alive. I imagine twin bodies, swirling to the music. Some special song, playing softly, For only us. Lights dimmed so our shadows bounce off the walls, they too are dancing. The soft glow illuminating the face I'd grown to love and my feet that usually lack grace now seem adroit. I am your princess without a throne. I am what you hold in your moment of need. I should have danced with you. I should have. And I will. Someday.
