Firefly Waltz

Love, meet me in the field
just down the road a bit,
because I want to dance with you
when the fireflies rise
want to watch their glimmer
beneath the tiny stars
and feel your arms around me
close and sure.
And the moon is welcome to join us,
oh---and any shooting stars?
If I catch one
I'll keep it---
or maybe just give it to you
for the singular pleasure
of seeing the shine in your eyes.
And it's only a dance
not a promise,
not a vow---
just a moment to feel
not so alone,
and not so distant.
The fireflies won't mind.
And if you think to kiss me
with 10,000 flashing lights,
and the moon peeking...
well, i'll never tell.
And I won't mind either.
So what do you say love?
Waltz with me.
