Paso Doble

means double-step 
or two-step in English

The cobblestones
are our cheerleaders
on the uneven footing
of “a life half-lived”

No one is watching
as I lead you down the dirty streets
made clean by night
and romantic lighting

Everything is finding its ending
tonight
I know how your feet transfer weight
over stones 
when you are tired
and trying to make your woman happy

I choose you
everyday
and I will dance badly
and call it romance
for a better artist to illustrate
