we dance
I close my eyes
and shut out the world
so all I can feel
is you holding me

my heart can't believe
this is reality
but I know it must be
trips my senses sweeter
than even the sweetest dream

I'm living in your heartbeat
and it tells me how to move
and with every breath
we take as one
I'm melting into you

when I met you
it was like my first time
setting eyes on the sun
knowing you
like finally feeling its warmth

always my bright angel
never failing to make me smile
you became so much of me
still this intensity
surprises me
sadly I had turned from you
knowing it would take so little
for me to love you
and I wasn't free to

my head kept telling me
that what I had
was what I should want
that I was happy enough
but you made me feel more
and I had to find out
that in your arms
I have it all

the way you hold me
so gently
yet so tightly
I can't believe I could have thought
I had found my home
in anyone but you

the way your beautiful face
lowers to my shoulder
and your lips brush my skin
as you breathe me in
and my hand cradles your neck
as yours caresses my arm
then slowly my back
like you want to take in
every part of me
like you need to memorize me
might have to live on the memory

but for this moment
we are safe from circumstance
we just get lost in the music
and found in each other
and I have never felt more perfectly loved
so I swallow tears
close my eyes and softly smile
and we dance

AH:)


I'd
like to throw out thanks to Hanna on this one -- her
fanfic put me in a mood
to rework this old poem with M/C in mind
