Their eyes met

as they had done then

the band began to play

and her feet fell in step with his

like they had done

decades ago.

They danced to their own tune

their heartbeats making up

for the lost conversations.

The years in between crumbled

to nothing

their forked paths again intertwined

as they glided through the floor

their bodies rejoicing

in the familiarity that was feared lost.

the band played the last song,

the night faded to dawn

to twilight to dusk,

their dance continued

adding new chapters to

an old story.
