Slow Dance

June 4, 2012 I heard a slow song, and then this was born a few hours later

When that slow song plays
And you start to sway to the beat
Who is it that comes to your mind?
Who are you dancing with?

Is it the cute stranger you just met?
Or your best friend you’ve known for years?
How about your boyfriend of many months?
Or maybe you just don’t know

With the cute new stranger
Its exciting and new
With a lot of smiles and laughs
And curiosity for what comes next

For you and your boyfriend
There is a rush of passion
Moving together like a machine
Or flying like birds through the sky

But with your best friend
Everything is familiar and comfortable
Moving freely and with joy
Making you question where your heart is

The slow song is over now
And your short dream is over
So who did you dance with?
And what did that time mean to you?
