How We Dance

Alone in my distant longing
The pitiful air I'm donning
I close my eyes and wonder
In loneliness I ponder
How it feels to dance with you

Maybe one night at evening
Love, this I'm just foreseeing,
We'll walk towards the dance floor
The world around is no more
What does it feel to dance with you?

Will you put your arms around my waist
And cradle me in safe embrace?
Will we gaze upon each others eyes
And speak in only soft replies?
Oh, I want to dance with you.

Will we be so close together
Like the last we saw each other?
And between the soft sweet kisses,
Steady breaths and stolen glances
When will I first dance with you?

At gentle pace you'll guide me
And leave the past behind me
The world is just two people
Magical, unbelievable
Is this how it feels to dance with you?

And to grasp the music's last note
I'll kiss you and tighten my hold
You'll ask: "Anything the matter?"
And in your ear I will whisper:
"I know how it feels to dance with you."

A very sweet poem, reminding me of what it was like to be young and have a secret crush on someone. You captured the moment very well with an extremely strong finish.

[Kenneth Sibbett]

This took me back to my dancing days. This would make a beautiful song. Either country or maybe John Mayer. I love it!

This is lovely I thought of our prom dances... Ohhh the things you do to me, CLAIRVOYANTMARS! :)

This was cute. It reminded me of a middle school dance where everyone is afraid to dance and just sits there imagining how it feels to be on the dance floor with their secret crush. Nice write. you captured the moment very well
