"Shall we dance?"

a question was asked
left hanging in the air.

ambivalence gets in the way
of an answer never verbalized.

like two people dancing the cha-cha:
you take one step forward
i take one step back.

but you turned around
as i was trying to step forward.

then i took one step back
just as you were coming
towards me.

if this is a game we play
then play just for the game's sake.

dance to the rhythm
but let not the rhythm take over.

i cannot make any promises,
but just go on with the kisses.

i may not always dance with you,
but keep asking me anyway.
