# the dance

-

one time we had a dance
maybe you think that was nothing
and maybe that was by chance
but i remember it despite my bad memory
every footstep, backward and forward
in every note of that song
but i guess i was late
alone, i have to solve this crossword
this is no Careless whisper
but the tune sings loudly in my head
maybe in the bleak midwinter
i’ll play the song again on my old cassette
to remind me of the dance we once had
