Dancing in the Dark
DANCING IN THE DARK …
If you miss me …know that I miss you too.
If you think of me …know that I can’t stop thinking of you.
If you dream of me …know that you live in me …
That every night I dream of you …of us …of what it was ,
of what it could have been
If you miss my lips on your skin ,know that I’m aching for your kiss
If you miss my arms holding you , know that I miss yours holding me.
If you miss my voice , my laughter or the color of my eyes
Know ,that every time the phone rings , I wish it to be you on the other side.
If you are wiping off a tear from your eyes . Know that I have no more tears to cry
You have left such a big hole in my life ,all I keep mumbling it’s why ?
Why the promises , the dreams ,the hopes , the excitement , the illusions ,why ?
Empty words without meaning , never intended to see them realized
I believed in our dreams …I believe in myself … I believed in you .
You became my home , I could rest my soul on you and feel total peace.
You and I … I should have known …I was dancing in the dark…
Now the lights are on …you were never by my side …I was dancing on my own .
Oh nmod……..how beautiful, sad and wistful……so much longing…….so much emptiness……….and straight from the heart. xx
nmod, this is so sad,how many times in one lifetime,how many hurdles to climb,
how many dreams have been shattered,and realised overtime ,and sometimes never forgotten.xxx.
Nmod, a very good poetic expression of a pain known and felt by many, but IF it is still your pain, I hope you find some release and comfort. Is it better “to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all”? Also, the bloke loved you in his own way;don’t you think? Please Forgive me if this is too personal.
Look,. maybe this is just me……….but I can never get my head around this better to have loved and lost bit………….how can it be…..i..bet diamonds there’s no one on this site, who has lost someone they were still in love with would agree………..not talking bereavement here………of course then it is better to have known love and made memories.
Starlette, I did and I speak from personal experience. I think that there are plenty like me. Loving and losing is part of life and I have to accept that, or I have to choose not to love at all which is not fully human and therefore unacceptable to me. My words are brave, but I keep a tighter rein on the heart strings knowing of the danger. I respect your kindness and wisdom; do I make sense to you.
Yes I do understand what you are saying Rose………but wouldn’t it have been best for your emotional state if your love had remained with you………….all part of life I agree………and maybe there were reasons you couldn’t be together……..but it has left you keeping a tighter rein on the heart strings……….perhaps more cautious less trusting………the danger of having loved and lost………..love is a risk we take if we want to experience one of the strongest emotions ever….the heady delightfulness of being on cloud nine……..only wanting to be with that one person…….no one else needed in our own little world……..and then to lose that……..I wouldn’t see it as being best for me………let the heartaches begin……ohh nooooo……….but take your point Rose…….And The World Turns !!
I’m with you star…and you know why I say that my dear. Nmod..this is beautiful and bittersweet, and so much of it resonates with me…thankfully I have learned to move on, but the memories are still there.
Norma this is such a beautiful and sad poem but I know you wrote it with your heart. I do hope that you will find love again Norma and thanks for sharing this beautiful poem.

Thank you everyone for your comments …writing about my sadness helps me deal with it , I know life goes on and I do my best to enjoy each day …
I’m packing as we speak …I’m going away for my birthday as I promised myself I will spend my birthday at a special place each year until I’m 70 …I will be 64 in two days and will try to do something special on that day !
Thank you for reading my posts and taking time to reply to them , your support means a lot to me xxx
Have a happy, safe and blessed birthday, Nmod. Hope to see you back soon. xo
Nmod, I think it will gradually subside in time, but it may take a lot of time. Good plan to grab some joy. I went to Europe and was not sad there. Still took years to feel joy again. Good luck with life and I wish you a quick recovery.
Norma, Have a wonderful trip and a very Happy Birthday . Marie xx
Happy Birthday and blessings on your personal journey. The world is full of walking wounded, may we all find peace in our own way. Is it better to have loved and lost? We have to think about the good times and cherish those. Then accept that life will be about birth and death. I am still working on the accepting stage. Until then, I will live in the moment and find peace and happiness as I can. Beautiful poem! Linda
