What love is this I’ve learned

They dance
Bodies moving to the music
They are fully free
They are fully responsive
They move to the music as they choose
They are moved by the music of another

I sit
Body still
Back against the wall
Every vibration from the drum beat and bass note
shakes me into mini motions
Awakes my heart for a moment
I am inconsolable and immovable
I am not moving to the music
I am hardly moved even by the deepest beats

I say
I don’t think
I’ll ever dance like you
But what I mean is
I don’t think
I’ll ever love like you

I’ve got a lot to learn about love. So grateful for the people who are teaching me what deeply moving love looks like.
