last dance/first dance

as soon as the music started
i knew this was our last dance
memories played through melodies
as our bodies swayed
trapped inside the groove
we
didnt want to say goodbye
but this was
goodbye
the last time our bodies would intertwine
slow wine
poured sips of you into my everlasting soul
faded fantasy
beat against reality
and somewhere in between
we fell


in love
or lust
or life


our life
entertained every word
as our bodies
pulled out the last of what was left


i
gave you me
written in my stare
and you
gave me your soul
swinging from your smile


i took your smile
and hid it
in my heart


directly next to the memories of every important song
our song
the last song
cataloged in the soundtrack of my life


we danced
and prayed that the dj knew that we
needed the extended version


we danced
and in that moment the world danced
with us


we danced
and cried
and smiled
and held each other until the lights came on


we danced
as the dj said thank you to the crowd
as the people left the building
as our lives knew we were through


this was our last song
our last embrace
our last love
our last dance


congratulations on your next dance
your first dance
your forever dance
