A Dance for Two

Photographer Unknown
The way you looked at me in that moment
So gentle, so fierce, and so goofy
I couldn’t help but laugh
Safe I was, under your watchful gaze
The sun, the flowers, and the meadow
Made the day even better
A small escape, an adventure
Where the treasure was us, and not gold
For being here with you
Your fingers playing with my hair
As if you were Picasso
Painting the outlines of my face
Drinking me in , like a thirsty man
And your warm embrace awoke me from my slumber
I didn’t know I was asleep, until I met you
You engaged my thoughts with your knowing smirk
Standing up, and reaching down
You asked, with a smile
Dance with me, and grabbed my hand
As if, I would say no
In your arms, is where I am me
And where, I know, you are you
no masks, no worries
Just a dance for two
