Jenny Emelander Poet Lyric

Slow Dance

Slow Dance

Since you've been gone
I'm sitting here thinking 
what went wrong
Doing only ok
Time slipping away
Like January wrapped inside of May

I miss your touch
the love in your face
your lips closing in
your strong embrace
2 angels we made laying side by side
 snowball fights, late nights
holding you by the firelight

Slow dance
wanna go on forever
 let's make it last
our bodies melting together
 this heart is burning up in all your love
 we fit together like a ball and glove

Feeling your sweet breath inside of me
the warmth of your skin drinks me in softly

 Slow dance

A tear falls down my windowpane
a track reminding me
another one closely following
grabs a hold starts slow dancing
like this love our greatest fear
hits the ground and disappears
looking back through all these years

You will always be to me my first slow dance.

Rockman Pritts July 9, 2011 at 11:53 AM Sadly romantic. Heart warming as well as heart wrenching. Like January wrapped inside inside of may. Good write. Rockman P.S. Lose the comma between snowball and fights.
