BECAUSE YOU DANCED IN MY ARMS

Because you danced
in my arms,

You scared away
the shadows hiding there.
You teach me how to trust again,
though I am afraid.
I see the shadow from my past,
skulking away,
out of the corner of my eye.
"Where will I go, if I don't haunt you?" it says.
And I say "I don't care!", with my eyes, "I'm happy now,
and I don't need you anymore."

Inspired by talking to her while listening to "Wedding Dance" by Slow Dazzle.
Note: The shadow isn't Katie, it's the pain.
"I don't care!" is something I'd never say to Katie if she said "Where will I go?".
I would still take care of Katie, no matter what she does to me.
