Dancing in the dark

I met a friend who turned into something more

Barely a friend, we talked a few times, danced a few times,

Every time I said the right thing

And every time, he said the right thing

I’m not sure it’s love

But it lives in the spaces inside me that are in heartbreak,

A love waiting to break open

It lives in my shame, in my sadness, in the parts of me I cannot hold alone
