I love the waltz
for that is when I can hold you near
Feel the beat of your breast
and the sweetness in your breath
I know I know
I should watch my step
As we twirl and swirl
in a room full of unfamiliar guests
But we do not stumble
you and I
For we have a rhythm
all of our own
I dare not grip you too hard
For with you I can only be tender
Who would not be
With such a creature so slender?
Just to gaze upon those eyes
so kind and gentle
Beyond the music
Beyond the dance
I am swooned
by your many wonders
The softness of your hair
The sweetness of your scent
The lure of your nape
The curve of your waist
Though I stand taller
you are the perfect fit
For us to glide and swoosh
across the floor and more
People look at us
and marvel at our grace
So effortless
So timeless
How did they become
so good, to gel so well
It's as if we were
from another age
When worries and cares
touch us not
When the world was kind
and generous
When the world I believe
was carefree and young?
There is nothing like the waltz
When two kindred souls step in tune
Heart beating as one
Hands clasping as one
The world can be a blur
for all I care
For only you I look
and behold
For only you
the music must play
For only you
my lips will whisper
This waltz, this waltz
I forever dance with you
