It Was That Dance
All was not well yet all was well
You wanted to go far but not so far
I understood you, you understood me
We were more than just friends
Yet never star-crossed lovers
Until that dance
I remember you dared me
To dance with you
I took your tender hand in mine
You lifted your head like this..
Looked in my eyes and smiled
I pulled your body to mine
I still smiled
I put my hand around your waist
I felt fire in my veins
I could hear your heart beat too
Then you came closest than I thought
My heart skipped
I kept my arms around you
Feeling the overflow, every where
The music was still flowing
And you whispered to me
I love you too
I made a hug of sweetness, eyes closed
I wanted that dance to go forever
I never wanted to let go
I had a passionate need,
As our bodies entwined
Friendship died
Love was birthed in its exact form
Then I looked in the eyes
I saw a fire, i had never seen that fire
Then I felt my soul cry out for you
I had never felt like that before
I wish I could feel it again today
I wish things had never changed
Now that you are here
I cant let you go
That dance changed all friends are for
Now I have to see you from a distance
For our friendship to stay
That dance i have to let go
Because all that happened
It was that dance
