Slow Dance

It starts with a look,

Then progresses to a smile.

Sooner or later,

Maybe in awhile.

He'll wink at you then look south

Then he'll look up and mouth,

"hey girl, wanna dance?"

You'll blush then glance

Around the room

To see anyone whom

Did see you two

You have two options

Simply yes or no

But this task may seem

A bit demanding

If you have a secret

That you like him so,

And inside your bright

And filled with a beautiful light

As you nod his way

You both ar thinking

That you'll treasure this day

What you don't know

Is the secret he carries

All the time in his pocket

He secretly likes you too

But can't express it

As you join hands

Your heart skips a beat

You realize you love him

As does he

The music starts

As you both start to sway

Back and forth

He tenderly guides you

As the song progresses,

He pulls you closer.

You lay your head against his chest

and feel his steady heart beating

You feel protected

No one can reach you

His arms surround you

And you feel safe

You never want to quit

But as the song ends

You know your short fairy tale

Has come to an end.
