This Dance

This Dance

If this dance is almost over
let's stop now
before it comes to an end.

I don't want to walk away
with feelings of regret
or shame
or sorrow.

Instead, I will back away from you
while I can still see your smiling face,
with tears full of gratitude,

and the beautiful music
that was our love,
not yet faded away in the night.
