We step in time to the music. You stumle over my clown feet. You giggle and I hold back a smile...and fail. You grab my hand and place it on your shoulder. The tingle from my hand to my neck slowly makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Out of the blue you asked me to dance. Out of the blue you came back into my life. What a small world, I would have never guessed that I would see you at my friends party. But here you are, still as beautiful as the last time I saw you. The last time I saw you was the day you left to go find what you call happiness. Apparently which I wasn't a part of. And now here you are back in my arms, and we're dancing as if all this time apart has been nothing but a few days. The feeling of you in my arms, the touch of you, the smell of you, just you itself is as famaliar as the last time I held you asleep in my arms. I almost close my eyes and get lost in the moment, but then I see my date staring at me and I remember that I didn't travel back in time to a few years ago when you were mine, but I'm here now in the present. And I need to let go. I casually slip your hand out of mine and take my hand off of your shoulder. You look at me scared that I'm going to walk away. And I am. But baby, oh my darling I saved the last dance for you. And I'm never gonna dance again.... |
