Memories - Dwm

 
We all have our time machines.
Some take us back, they're called memories.
Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

Jeremy Irons, English Actor

              Oh I recall,
        the dances and the love crushes;
      at my high school on Saturdays,
        the waltzing was more of a shove.
  But the most fun was in the jumping and twirling,
  it was sort of a wild dance that sent us whirling;
    there was deep dipping and swirling,
  and the skirts were tight and sexy and the heels high.

             Whitney sang,
        and the colors were neon bright;
      hip hop was just around the corner,
        we were a bit too sexy for school kids.
  But, nothing bad really happened it was all show,
  the loudness of the music would just grow and grow;
    and it does not seem all that long ago,
  I can still his voice asking, "dance with me.
