The band played a waltz
I saw you there
My courage finally filled by whiskey and love.
Walking over to you
I bow
Most kindly I ask
May I have this dance beautiful lady?
I turn to see who is making this request and smile.
I’m not sure if I can dance to this but I will try to
follow you the best I can...
if that is alright with you..
I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
Pulling you close I am intoxicated by the scent of your hair
as you lay your head against my chest.
My hand encircles your waist
We slide to the music and float on the feeling of our bodies so close.
Your arms feel familiar to me and I find it easy to follow your steps
I feel like my feet are off the ground
You feel strong yet gentle
and I want to keep on dancing
~
The eternity of 3 minutes and 49 seconds brings
my arms to fully embrace you
Feeling as if no one else is in our world
Our clothing caresses us and makes us warm
The song has ended the band left the stage for break
We still dance and hold each other hearing the music
still playing in our hearts
I cant remember how I felt without your arms around me...
it seems a lifetime ago
We are hypnotized by the eyes of the other
I see my future in yours
Do you see yours in mine?
In your eyes I see a tear
like a crystal
the look of your life is joy
I know that in this face in this single tear
I see all I would ever need in life.
I lean into you
Kissing your lips softly
Breath almost non existent
Knees only held strong by determination
A speech forever thought of and practiced
Words rehearsed in a mirror
With a simple heart
Will you dance with me the rest of our lives?
Breath held and heart still
Waiting for your hopeful yes
~
My eyes well up with tears as I answer
Yes, I will be your partner the rest of our lives.
