Vividly he dances
when her eyes are closed,
echos float soothingly
and sigh, she does
happy she is.

But wait;
she stirs,
she wakes,
eyes flutter open
and echos float away
dancing still, slowly fading.

A moment,
small enough to forget
long enough to cherish,
a sweet reminder
of the past and
the fight to be true,
stronger alone,
weaker is he
longing for anything,
stronger is she
waiting for more.
