Dance

Conrad Trudelle



I long to touch you

to hold you and dance

To the music you caused

to rise within my soul

But I stand at a distance

and watch,

Afraid that if I get to close

you will be frightened

by my nearness

and run

That I could not abide

I would rather watch you

from a distance

than not see you at all

My world would be indeed

Gray

without you in it

For me to love

Communication is what makes this planet better, we have to learn to communicate better. Communication is not only content, but also delivery. talking to or with someone is totally different than talking at them. more…
