Last Dance

Looking at you from across 
the room knowing this was
last time I was going to see
you.

Our favorite song "Dilemma"
by Nelly blasting through 
the loud speakers.

You wouldn't even look
at me.

The gym's dark grey walls
decorated like a Las Vegas 
casino it looked  like a
gold glitter monster 
threw up.

You in your suit looking like 
the polished politician that you 
dreamt of becoming.


Me in my homemade dress
of course I would be wearing 
one of my own designs.

When we first met I literally 
couldn't stand you. I thought 
You were a brat and I'm pretty 
sure you thought I was a brat too.

You finally looked up at me;
You walked slowly to me hooked 
your pinkie around mine.

You walked me to the
middle of the dance floor 
just then "Don't Change" 
by Musiq.

I didn't want the song to end
especially after you told me 
you asked the DJ to play it.

"This will be the last song 
of the night," said the DJ.

Tha song ended and you
kissed me on my forehead  
turned and walked away 
leaving me there. 

Last song of the night!
Last dance of the year!
Last time I will ever see you!
