A short song/poem, inspired this morning by a request for ‘a love song, in which the person loved is referred to in the third person, using gender-neutral pronouns.’
We danced …
We danced. Eyes agleam and hearts on fire,
Our fingers touched, their smile grew wider,
I leaned in close
Our kiss was laughter.
I fell in love
The day we danced.
We met that morning, a casual glance
They asked me shyly
‘Shall we dance?’
And in that moment, time suspended,
My life was changed, my sorrow ended –
Just because they asked me,
And we danced.
We danced. Sharing the music, hope grew higher,
Our bodies touched, their heart beat faster,
I leaned in close
Our kiss was ecstasy.
I fell in love
We fell in love
The day we danced.
