Holding my hand like this,
On your hip, means that I
Will lead this waltz.
My finger to my lips means
That words will not
Help. My hand on your cheek
Means no more
Tears. My head on your shoulder
Means that sometimes
Our days are too painful
To bear gracefully. My finger
Under your chin, lifting
Your blind gaze to mine,
Means you really should
Have seen this coming.
