Almost a Waltz

Playful · Original lyrics · Fictional voice · Lyrics only

One step finds the edge of carpet,
Two steps borrow from the chair.
Three steps ask the floor to pardon
All the counting missing there.

Almost a waltz, almost together,
Close enough to turn once more.
We can lose the careful measure
And still meet beside the door.

Someone laughs before the ending,
Someone puts the record back.
All the time we spent pretending
Turns to music in the crack.
