The Dance

flower line


I saw you cross a crowded room,
Your smile caught my eye.
Your laughter rang in through my ears.
No need to wonder why,
That people flocked to be by you
and linger in your grace.
To listen as you told a tale,
A grin upon your face.
But I fell in love,
When I danced with you
And held you in my arms.
With just one dance is when I knew
I was yours forever more.
I longed to hold you always
and have you smile at me.
To love me in the same way
That I was loving you.
How to make you mine?
The thought ran through my head.
I was running out of time,
As the dance came to an end.
Oh how to catch your interest,
To make you want me too?
The wish that I held dearest
Was to have you love me too.
The music died.
I let you go
and watched you walk away.
Knowing that I forgot to,
Tell you 'I love you.'
