Dance With Me

There was a time
your hips moved with mine
You stood by me
We were syncopated

There was a time
you pulled me close
and led my body around the floor
I remember your heartbeat
the rumble of your chest as you sung
I always pressed my ear closer
when you sang our song

There was a time
before now
when we could hear the music in each other's minds
even from across a room
we were in step

Then that thing happened
and you stepped on my foot
and I stopped trusting your lead
but our dance was good

Line dancing is nice
but having a partner is the best
Swaying over the floor
until the song is over
and we are both smiling and out of breath

I desire to dance again
Let's find our rhythm again
We've danced alone long enough to know we can
Let's put the steps together
Can you hear the count
5...6... 7...8

Come, my love
Dance with me
