If We Ever Get To Dance
By
Alice C. Bateman
I fantasize about you
I dream of you at night
I feel you here inside me
You fill my soul with light
You are the other half of me
Together we make one
But will you ever be here
When my day’s work is done
Is it just a fantasy
To have just one true mate
Is it just a fallacy
Or did our God create
Two halves of one creature
Searching for their soul
Two halves of one spirit
Separate, seeking whole
And would I find that in you
If we ever have the chance
To explore what is between us
If we ever get to dance
If we ever get to find out
Where this leads, where this could go
In neglect, my love is growing
Do you even want to know
How I cherish every second
That we’re breathing the same air
How the room’s completely empty
If you’re suddenly not there
And I can’t express my feelings
Except here, with pen and book
Where my life’s nobody’s business
Where nobody dares to look
Except you, who sees inside me
Though you hardly ever dare
You know if you look closely
You’ll find yourself in there
