The Dance

Would you dance with me
if I were brave enough to ask
From what you've seen and what you've heard
am I worthy of the task

Would you take my hand
and let the other take your waist
Would you let me pull you close to me
or take off in frightful haste

Would you look at me
and stare deep into my eyes
Would the music start to move you
or would fear paralyze

And would we move about the floor
with symmetry and grace
Or would I just be standing here
alone within this place

I haven't danced in many moons
I'm not even any good
but if I had to dance again
you're the one with whom I would

So tell me would you dance with me
and please don't play it cool
It takes more than you know to ask
but hurts more to be a fool

Perfect rhyme scheme and flow. The message is one that, I'm sure everyone can relate to ; the decision to take a terrifying step into the unknow. I thoroughly enjoyed it... Thank you for sharing :)

Torn between wanting and fearing...I love the rhyming scheme, the words flow beautifully...the message is obvious...an enjoyable read!
