Relearning the Steps

Yesterday I got angry at you again.

I screamed.

LOUD.

Oh, so loud.

Too loud.

I stopped hearing the music.

Then...

You let me be for a while.

Then you explained yourself

You told me to calm down

But not in the usual,

Demeaning way.

I heard the music again...

Softly.

I told you I got triggered

You apologised.

I cried..

It feels like a dance we've done before.

To a tune that's familiar.

But this time,

We're a little more careful

To not step on each other's toes.

We're relearning, I feel

Step by step

ooo, baby

Remembering some forgotten moves

That brought us together

In the first place.

But also rediscovering...

Some new moves

To new rhythms

New sounds

New beats to the drums...

That we need

To keep the love alive

To stay together.
