Dance of the Apps

We both know.
We knew in an instant,
but still we do the dance.
Out of habit
Out of fear
We both want the same thing
We already said it
In so many words.
In so many pictures.
In so many fantasies.

You want to be up.
I want to be down.
You want to be in.
I want to be around.
You want to lead.
I want to be led.
You want to give.
I want to receive.
What more is there to know?
Yet still we dance.

But neither will say “yes.”
Not yet.
What would it be?
How would it go?
What if it fails
And scarier,
What if it succeeds

The dance is over.
Opportunity has passed.
Uncertainty prevailed.
We look for other partners,
Hoping to find the one
Who brings it home
