Take Me Dancing

                              Can we meet at an outside festival

                             or at a place that has a dance floor?

                          Can we let the drums and music move us

                           or have the DJ play our song once more?

                                   I don’t wish to walk, talk,

                                        nor hold hands.

                                         A sister would simply like to dance.

                                            Can we wind and grind like we lost our minds?

                                          Lose ourselves in the music and forget about the time?

                                     Can we close our eyes and pretend

                                     we never met

                                       As we let the music help our bodies reconnect?

I don’t want to discuss the “if we have a chance.”

Honestly, I want nothing more

than to have a night

 where we just dance.

So forget about the movies

                                         and going out to eat.

                                           I only have one request:

                                            onto the dance floor.

                                       If I follow

                                          will you lead?
