The Last Dance
The sands beneath our feet so warm
The tides from the ocean so strong
The deep blue sky with stars bright
I could kiss you, right here, all night
But as your favorite song starts to play
You grab my hand, “let’s dance”, you say
With a tear in my eye and smile on my face
I get up for our last dance with grace
Now holding you that close to me
I feel so far and detached to be
Future could try to build together with thee
Only if that chance you wanted with me
Living in the moment was just a thought to be
It wasn’t something for us, I now can see
With the boundaries of friendship you have laid
I dance helpless with thoughts you engraved
Nothing good lasts forever with me
I’m good but not good enough, u see
I hoped you could let your guard down a bit
Feel what I feel and let your heart uplift
Our today itself is uncertain and wild
If you liked it, could have tried make it a future worthwhile
Now dancing here on the beach so white
Your last dance with me, is a pitiful site
As we sway together to the music here
Its words don’t even reach my ear
The look in your eyes keeps me sunken
Smell of your skin leaves me drunken
This sweet tingling could still last forever
But you’re not contend with things however
Your journey now continues for finding the new
I shall keep dancing this last dance, waiting for you
