When We Dance.

When we dance-
Damn it feels so good to take these shoes off
They're suede and patent leather and make me stand up straight

When we dance
I close my eyes and I breathe you in. Dancing with you
Its so familiar that closing my eyes now, I can smell you
Can recall the faintest bit of our cologne
light scratch of your beard

When we dance
For once, for real, I can let you lead
I can trust you completely and almost predict your next move
You guide me close then spin me away
But you never let go

When we dance you put me on display
You always could put on a show, but half the time I barely know what I'm doing
Somehow,
somehow, when we dance, I look good
Everyone's watching. They're watching. They're whispering.
We're flawless

You move not only to the beat, but to the words as well
Your incredible body finds the mood of the music and the heart of every song so
When we dance
We're flawless

When we dance you create circles around us
I fix my hands in yours or around your shoulders and I'm locked into a very private embrace,
a separate space even
With my head resting on your shoulder I can only feel it when you're smiling
I cherish your arms, your fingers that press into the small of my back
That reassure my steps

When we dance
I'm alright
I'm yours
I believe you
I want you

When we dance
you can convince me of anything
Ask me
Ask me again
This time I'll go.
