Lisa Mitchell - Incomplete Lullaby
Mere words cannot express...
I don't want you to know that I miss you, but it's so hard to stop myself from shouting it at you. To stop myself from jumping around, with flailing arms, screaming "please just come back!". To stop myself from looking into your eyes, and gently whispering "I miss you." To stop myself from absently stating it in the middle of conversation. It's so hard to stop myself from feeling it.
Oh, won't you dance with me once more?
Bring it back to that day in my study. We'll dance to Alexi Murdoch, and pretend the past five months didn't exist.
Forget that our lips have met any one elses besides each others. We'll dance like we'll be together forever, and always have been. I'll erase the cruel words from my memory, and remove the malice from my heart. I'll burn the images embedded in my brain of you and her.
I'll keep that shoe box, and your guitar pick in my pocket. We'll smile at each other again in passing. We'll work our way up.
But I just have one request, won't you dance with me once more?
