Standing against the
wall at the party
I see you across
the way
Wishing you would
ask to dance with me

I think your coming
to me
and I see
your asking someone
else to dance

As I watch you
dance with her
I picture in my
mind it is me

I can see
your arms holding me
and touching the
small of my back
as we twirl around
the dance floor
to a slow dance

Then I come back
to reality
Your still dancing
with her
And ignoring me

I guess this
is the way life goes
Me still wanting
to dance with you
and it never happening

Wallflowers "R" Us is not a good way to be. Plus there is no reason to be. This is not the Victorian age, women can, without social outrage, ask men to dance too. Either that or cast your eyes elsewhere.

Maybe some other man is dreaming of dancing with you and is as shy as you. Jerry is right, the ladies have the freedom to ask men too nowadays.
You wrote this well.

You'd be surprised how many others would have danced with you had you only looked their way.

Thank you for your comments! Yes, as you can see I am a very shy person. This always happens to me at parties. Maybe one day I will come out of my shell.
