We alternate between feeling complete, elated in love with another

yet utterly empty when they go, and filled with heartbreak

Once embraced by the loving arms of the other,

alas left to carry the weight of our own pain and heartache

Where we used to sit side-by-side, we’re now standing alone

As the world spins, we each take our turns doing this dance

swaying to and fro, back and forth with the unknown 

Knowing that to love means accepting our fate in taking this chance
