I was cleaning up after a dinner mess
You were in there charming my parents.
Then you came and pulled me close to you,
Said I smelled like perfume and shampoo.
And you asked “Would you dance with me?”
I spun in your arms and complied happily.
It didn’t matter that they were right there,
As you sang a song into my hair,
As you spun me across the linoleum floor,
I fell for you just a little bit more.

And then danced, like we were alone,
And to us we were, holding each other close.
Your arms around my waist, mine around your neck,
It was as good as good can get.
You loudly denied that streak of romance,
And then we danced.

It was the middle of class, and the sky was gray,
It was raining on my birthday.
I was going to sleep, all my work was done,
You came into the room, and I woke up.
You explained to my class that it was your chance,
To give me my first birthday dance,
And it didn’t matter that they all watched,
As you smiled at me, and my heart stopped.
You took me in your arms and spun me around,
It was the best birthday ever, hands down.

And then we danced, like we were alone,
And to us we were, holding each other close.
Your arm around my waist, mine around your neck,
It was as good as good can get.
You loudly denied your streak of romance,
And then we danced.

You say you’re not adorable or sweet,
And then you do something for me.
Something that takes my breath away,
And then my heart turns to soft clay,
When you look at me with love in your eyes,
That feeling that makes me want to cry.

And then we dance, like we’re alone,
And to us we are, holding each other close,
Your arms around my waist, mine around your neck,
It’s as good as good can get.
You deny your streak of romance,
And then we dance.

~ As you may be able to tell, I put a lot of importance in how two people dance with one another.You can tell from their body language if they're being forced, or if they're completely and utterly in love...I love it!And I know one of the lines is iffy, but this poem is for my bf, and it's an inside joke...lol~

Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like nobody's listening,
and Live like it's heaven on Earth.

I adore this poem! Actually, I think it could be set to music and make a nice song. I like your repetition of the "And then we danced..." stanzas, which is, to me, what makes it rather musical. The imagery is terrific too! Great job.

This is a really cute poem. I loved it

I didn;t exactly understand the
"You loudly denied that streak of romance"
but i could just be missing something

Awesome poem, keep writing
