It All Went Far Too Quickly

Naturally, we shared the fear
Of being on a limb,
And scared to stay while loath to part,
We felt our feelings dim.

Ah, me! Well, now we're separate,
And will be for a while.
And then we'll try again, for love
Remembers its sweet smile.

But this time we'll go slow and ask,
Before we go to bed,
If we might try some artful grace
And dance awhile instead.
