slow dance with me

it's early morning
last call came and went
the house lights are on
everyone sees each other for the first time.
the dj plays the "get the fuck out" song
the dance floor clears
all except me
my jam is playing
so i
dance by myself
feel the tunes
roll with the lyrics
bounce to the bass.
you watch me
curious
wonder if i'm crazy or a genius.
throughout the night
we kept tabs on one another
glances back and forth
smiles
watching movements
how we groove
interact with the competition.
without a word
you two step to me
our friends know to keep away
my fingertips grace your silhouette
you wipe sweat from my forehead
we wrap ourselves in the beat.
the song fades
the bouncers pull a "martin"
our eyes speak.
without a word
we end the night how it started.
alone.
