An ode to Facebook

Look at all of the places I have been.
Look at all of the people I've met.
Look at all of the things that I enjoy.
Look at me.
Without you.

Look at all of the songs we listen to.
Look at all of the accomplishments we share.
Look at all of the words we say (and don't say) to each other.
Look at me.
With you.


Look at all of the hobbies I now have.
Look at all of the parties I am invited to. 
Look at all of the ways I've grown.

Look at me.
After you.

And we dance



A beautiful girl who I just met starts to dance with me.
She smiles and I don't understand.
Does she like me, does she think I am funny?
But she smiles
and we dance

I sit back down
talk to friends
grab a drink
and she's there
so I walk up,
"what are you getting?"
"who knows?"
We cheers, and chug
and we dance

My back is tapped
conversations with friends
we part and I look back
she's looking back
conversations end
and we dance

All night
I think
All night
I wonder
and we dance

I have to go
I try to leave
I say goodbye
She says, "don't go"
and we dance
