her.

"shall we dance?" laughed the little girl, running about in her flowing skirt, squealing with her delight in the moment.

"yes, lets." i smiled back, savouring her blossoming joy as she ran further and further away, disappearing into the shadows.

i surpressed the urge to run after her, to gather her into my arms and spin her around and round.. she's beautiful. overflowing with innoncence of youth..

shall we dance? yes. yes. we shall. but maybe, never, on this side of heaven...
