The dance we shared

It clearly wasn't planned
But we ended up on the dance floor
Guess I can say we learned
Or expanded something that wasn't there before

So the music began and so did the movement
It began slow but the dance was fast within a moment
Without really understanding the steps we did the tango anyway
Til we realised that everyone else did it another way

So we slowed it down
Calmed it down a little
However still we'd learnt something different now
So still I decided to stay on the dance floor with you

The song changed and so did the atmosphere
Moved on a little from the first place that we were
Slight distance between but I waltzed right with you
Keeping an eye on the steps so in the dance I wouldn't lose you

The melody we whispered set the pace of the dance
Words in their own right seemed to do their own dance
Like sharing a passion between, they coiled and brought wisdom
Like us being the builders, and the words bricks building a kingdom

The first dance it seemed, like no-one was watching
But on the second, we realised the crowd had been watching
But in the focus of the dance their whispers seemed to fade
So we enjoyed the moment for it was only for two made

The song has just come to an end even though I didn't want it to
But good things come to an end even if we don't want them to
Yet I feel blessed, I shared a dance with you
And while I do the next dance, I will remember you

Letting you go as you walk back into her arms
She's your partner for life, for her you can write psalms
Your destiny, your vision so lead her step by step
And I pray they play the right song for your next two-step

It was different, though un-prepared
But I believe I enjoyed the dance we shared

Yours truly...
