In an upside-down garden

Your arms around my waist
they make me wish you'd never
move from the position that we're in.

Swaying back and forth on the dance floor
the music sucks and it makes me laugh
you came and found me and asked me to dance.

I've never seen you wear a tie before
and if you wear one again
I think I'll burst out laughing.

There's people all around us
but we're seperated from the group
swaying back and forth in circles.

My head rests on your shoulder
You talk to me and tell me about
a song you'll have to play for me someday.

Your arms around my waist
they make me wish you'd never
move from the position that we're in.

I feel safe where I am
I've never felt like that before
and I don't want you to let go.

Don't let go.

The song ends
but you don't pull away
until the beats of the next song begin.

You slowly slide away from me
and I can't move; for once I'm stuck.
I want you to come back to me.

Don't let go.

Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.

This is great!  If only he hadn't let go.... Guys (including, but not limited to myself) never know what they are letting go of.  Great poem!  

After Love comes Pain, then Love, Then Pain, then Love, then Pain..... does anyone else see a pattern here?  Oh well, can't say it's not worth it.

Acire, no this isnt about Justin.  
That chapter in my life is over.
This poem is for a guy named Mike that I'm quite fond of and they are actual events that did occur.  He comes over for lunch sometimes and he plays guitar for me.  It's rather fun.

This is a very sweet poem. I know those times you are speaking of when you don't want them to let go.
