That Dance

In the midst of the crowd on dance floor,

we found ourselves both unattached.

Our dates would forgive us the offer

as the chords called us closer to dance.

I remember the vibration your skin made,

the light hum as you pulled me in close,

our song folded out like soft velvet,

the what ifs played out like sweet notes.

Our feet as the drums beat together;

We knew that it wouldn’t last long.

Some people get years in the music;

Some people get one little song.
