Let Us Dance

I want to dance with you

Standing toe to toe with you in perfect silence waiting for the music

Doesn’t matter how crowded the floor may be or if not another soul should exist

You holding onto me and I holding you in a gentle embrace

I don’t want to bounce, bop or even jump about no acting the fool with you

Music soft and slow with a sound so sweet that it could make you weep

Gliding and swaying across the floor lost in the music and the beat of our hearts

Deep into each other we fall not worrying where we might tread knowing each step will fall where it needs to be

Moving apart and turning about coming together again lost is the motion of music and sound it conveys

Heart racing, pulse quickens, each breath a labor to take

Legs weaken, bodies glisten till all we have is each other for support

I want to linger this way knowing the sweet scent of you as we get lost together

I want us as partners unlike any other and to always find myself with you

No matter the trial, no matter the test, it doesn’t matter if we never get the chance to rest

Bodies swaying together from one heart beat to the next knowing this is not something we can resist

When the song ends I want the world to see we are one

No doubt in any mind should linger as it all comes to an end and we are back where we began waiting for the music to start again

I want to always dance with you
