Alone in my world, staring out the window
Rowdy girls surrounding me can’t penetrate my thoughts
I reminisce about the night we just had
Walking into the club, all dressed up
I remember last time I was nervous about seeing you
Right up to the bar, ordered our drinks
Turned to where I first saw you last time; you’re not there
Down a few shots, birthday cheers for two
I remember us drinking last time
The girls pull me to the dance floor; get the party started
Last time, you were the one grabbing my hand
Strobe lights flashing, eyes temporarily blinded
They clear; I expect you to be dancing in front of me, like last time
Feel a hand touch me from behind
I turn, ready to give the stare I gave you last time
Dance up a storm, singing at the top of our lungs
You made a face when I did that last time; you laughed
That song comes on; why do I recognize it?
I picture you taking over the dance floor like you did last time
Shoes killing, it’s time to go
No arm to lean on walking down the stairs this time
Waiting outside for our ride, wind giving me chills
I had hugs last time to keep me warm
Watching the world fly by me with speed,
I quietly sit and stare; it was a good night
But it was nothing like last time.
Author notes
Option #5
Went out last night, and I just kept reminiscing the whole night...thinking about how the last time was, what we did, where we went, what we said. Couldn't seem to get it out of my head. It had been a good night.

This is amazing. Absolutely loved the way it was written, basically just everything. Your words held such meaning to them that was so alluring to the reader. I could very well picture this one in my mind.
"Dance up a storm, singing at the top of our lungs

I think I liked those lines the best because 1) they were very clearly written [and i'm not saying the rest of the poem wasn't. haha] & 2) I could relate so well to them. While reading those lines, I remembered a personal situation of my own. Great job with this & thanks for entering. Best of luck to you :] ♥

that person that wasn't there...was thinking about it the same as you I'm sure of it...
I remember us drinking last time
Feel a hand touch me from behind
I turn, ready to give the stare I gave you last time
Turned to where I first saw you last time; you’re not there
Don't worry...next time...he promises he'll be there...if you'll let him...and it'll be better than last time.
