A Slow Dance

You hold me close;
I push you away.
You ask me what is wrong;
I cannot say.
You begin to speak;
I begin to cry.
You ask me what is going on;
I shake my head and sigh.
You hold me closer;
I push you still.
You ask if I'm okay;
With tears my eyes refill.
You do not understand;
I look away, too.
You look down at me;
I realize again that I love you.
The music swirls around;
The room's spinning ends.
The music fades out;
For we will only ever be friends.
