I Cried Today

There was no dance today
I was lost in the memories
cocooned in his arms
yet dreaming of you constantly

He asks so little
and offers so much
a promise of tomorrow
in his every touch

And today
he asked me to dance
all I could see
was the pride in each glance

My heart was lost
in perpetual anguish
to dance for him
would tarnish what i cherish

It isn't that I don't
Love him, I do
it is just that
he is not you..

So tonight cradeled in his arms
I cried
I cried for what was
for what I denied

I cried for what
would never be
I cried because we
are no longer we
