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!
