As I sit here-lonely Without a friend in the world I look around and try to see If anyone else is alone As I look around all that I see Are couples here and couples there Dancing-oh so closely So I stand up And grab my jacket I turn to walk away If I'm here alone There is no reason to stay But as I near the door You come up to me You say "I saw you earlier, You're alone-or so it seems" As I look at you I notice something different That sparkle in your eyes Your beautiful, baby blue eyes You say "May I have this dance?" And I look at you and say "I'm sorry-I feel no need to dance." Your blue eyes stop sparkling As I walk out the doorway I know you're not like all the others I don't know why I said "no." I get in my car and leave I go and park two blocks away I sit in my car and cry I put the car back into drive And drive back to the club I walk in and look for you You're not there I ask around for you No one has seen anyone that looks like you So again I turn to leave But as i'm walking out the door you tap me on the shoulder I turn around and look at you Your eyes are sparkling again And once again you ask "May i have this dance?" I say yes  "What a beautiful evening,"you whisper in my ear My reply is a smile You know what it means 'How wonderful it is to have someone to hold' I know this doesn't rhyme, but I really like it and I have always felt that A poem doesn't have to rhyme as long as you get the point across and the feelings out!~Lily ------------------ We see only what we want to see~unless perhaps~we believe *A rose is a rose it withers and dies...so long as you keep it the memories stay alive* [This message has been edited by Princess Lily (edited 08-05-99).] |

My honest opinion, eh?? I think this is wonderful!!! I love the story line, how you (or whomever is the character in it) gets the second chance. It does seem like fate plays a role in such instances. Wonderful poem, my friend!! ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "Your kiss upon my face feels like a brush with grace, baby thats all it takes to take me higher..." SHeDaisy |

Yes my dear friend I wish that in every instance such as this one that we got second chances but we usually do not. It is so unfortunate that fate does not play a role in our lives everyday, but then again maybe it does and we do not realize it  Thanx!!~Mel(friends have a way of creeping into your lives-if you know what i am referring to )------------------ We see only what we want to see~unless perhaps~we believe *A rose is a rose it withers and dies...so long as you keep it the memories survive* [This message has been edited by Princess Lily (edited 08-06-99).] |

Lily...I really liked the story line behind this and the idea of having a second chance. I though it was well written, but I would like to see the flow of it just a bit smoother ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |
