Dancing to the Beat of Love

The beat slows

The amount of people on the floor

Decrease

Pairs of bodies

Become one

In the dim light

You ask me to dance

I quickly agree

And secretly rejoice

Softly you touch my hand

And lead me slowly to the dance floor

You gently hold me in your arms

While the misty dizziness of happiness

Covers the couples dancing

Tenderly, we sway to the peaceful beat

Dancing far at first

But soon going through the same

Change as the others

Of becoming one

I’m happy you hold me

For I would fall far and deep

Into the clutches of a

Senseless love

The time we spent

Seemed all too short

I go, sit back and smile

I had danced to the beat

Of Love
