With This Waltz

I had this beautiful dance I felt we needed to do,
only because we all want to be a synchronized swimmer of sorts,

which only meant we wanted people to tell us that we were pretty,
or enchanting,
or something other worldly,

but it always amazes me why people say that,
especially when they have no idea what or where this other world is

People do fantastically weird things,

but being weird is relative to being normal,

so maybe they are one in the same,

in reverse

And that is why we sit over here

on opposite

sides of the spectrum

I would never have thought to think myself too good for you,

perhaps too much,

or too different,

but never too good,

It was too far,

far off the beaten path of never being good enough

I was just me,

and I would like to think that I would keep me around

but as usual,

I just cannot keep these things,

at least not to myself---
