First Love

I glanced across the dance floor and saw her standing there I saw her looking straight at me and I tried not to stare I was kind of shy back then, for girlfriends, I had none So when I saw her look at me I thought “is this the one”? My friend Jim beside me said “Go on, ask her to dance” And you'd better do it quickly before you lose your chance My heart was beating rapidly as again I met her gaze Then I walked in her direction, my mind was in a daze “Would you care to dance”, (if she said no I would just die) “Yes, that would be very nice” was her quick reply I led fair maid onto the floor, put one hand on her waist And slowly did the box step, while inside my heart raced I knew right then I was in love, wings were on my feet I hardly said a word to her til we walked back to her seat With a smile I thanked her, and with shaking voice asked when There was another slow one, could we dance again She looked at me and sweetly said, “well now, that would depend” “I'll dance if you will promise to introduce me to your friend” 11/26/2011
