Three Dances With You

Having an ideal movie moment

What is it about a slow dance?

That makes it interesting and full of romance?

 

No matter how many dances

I dance with you,

You always seem to make my potential relationship dreams come true.

 

You say slow dancing's the only dance you can do.

"Prove it."

I say eager to slow dance with you.

 

Without hesitation, you rise and follow

With anticipation beating in my heart, I inhale and swallow.

 

You take my hand,

I take your hand.

There's still space in between us,

But it's okay cause we're just friends.

 

"Do you want to spin?" you ask.

I nod,

you spin me around full 360,

back into our dance.

my hand in your hand.

 

What a strange, but quirky guy you turned out to be

Always so talkative and funny

I've learned that when you laugh at something really funny,

You start snorting!

It's so cute!

 

According to you,

it's possible to mark time in your sleep.

You lead me step by step

to the song, and it keeps us on beat.

I guess that's what drumline does to you. : )

 

For most of the time

We don't even dance.

I stay by your side,

Play hand held video games,

And enjoy your company as our conversations advance

Booty shaking in front of respectable people isn't really my thing

But talking to you, I end up happy just the same.

 

Another slow song comes on,

you ask me if I want to dance again.

 

This time BOTH of my arms are around your neck,

BOTH of your hands are around my waist.

There is still space.

But it's okay, cause we're just friends anyway.

 

We talk while you lead.

About the most random things

Video games,

Marching,

Mark timing,

and All the happy people slow dancing with someone.

Like you and me.

 

Another slow song comes on

Blending itself with the last ending chords of the first.

 

Suddenly,

You say,

"We can get closer."

 

We do,

You're still counting off beats out loud

Easily guiding me

Step by step to the song.

There's barely any space this time.

We're quiet.

Gliding softly to the moment.

 

I dare a look up at you.

 

Our eyes meet,

I quickly look down at my feet again.

Apologizing for getting off beat.

You say it's fine

and slow your tempo to match mine.

 

In the sweet silence, I realize that my heart is speeding

rapidly beating to the tune that is you

 

The music stops.

 

It ends to a raging rap song

Yelling something about tapping that booty.

What a way to ruin the moment.

But I can still feel your body heat,

and happily, I realize that your arm is still around me.

 

The moment's not ruined after all.

 

We are still just friends.

And it was just something that happened at Band Camp.

But the sad thing is, even though we slow danced to three songs together.

I can't remember any of the songs at all....   : )

 

I think this could be the beginning of a very happy ending.
