Duet

There is a shiver traveling down my spine
that ends where the beat meets the paved street
and I find myself two stepping to the songs
of your love, my laughter, and our fulfilled life

Sometimes the night never seems to end
and I keep dancing to the beat of my heart
and the rhythm that is locked away in the promises
of growing older, and hopefully a bit wiser

I hear the bass lines under dim street lights
a small shuffle to something a bit uncharted
but at the same time so familiar that the feeling
is fleeting and permanent all at the same time

So I dance until you arrive to take my hand
and the solo dance becomes a duet of like minds
as we two step in unison to music that was written
long before we ever found each other on this earth
