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."

Wow, this just blew my mind. Absolutely beautiful..so romantic. Loved it. It was perfect, absolutely perfect.

It's super romantic and sweet, I love it. There's no sense of cliche here. I love how the last line of each stanza sort of matches each other. :D
Fantastic.

[Sweet Emotions]

This is beautiful. It's so sweet and romantic, and you avoided the cliche gross mushy lovey stuff. I absolutely love the way you repeated the last line of each stanza but in a different way. This is great writing.

[Spiral Panda]

Romantically breath taking. Driven to dream.

[Blue Moon Ice Cream]

This has a nice rhythm. It feels kind of like you're being swept along in a romantic waltz. The only thing I didn't understand was how you could "don" air...?

Will we gaze upon each others eyes

I love this line, it reminds me of T.S. Elliot's poetry, nicely done!

[Muse]

To love someone from afar, beautiful but painful. Nicely done.

[Silent Knight]

This poem is beautiful and makes me smile. I would love to dance with my special friend, so I can relate to this. I wish I could dance.

a movement of emotions swaying with the heart while the body is lead into surrender - following a flow of romance - this is lovely.
