Night of Romance

You asked me to dance with you

And I said yes

You took my hand, led me out to the floor

And we danced

You said I looked beautiful

And I blushed pink

I told you, you looked better, and you said

Not possible

The instruments sang to us

Us, side by side

Your hand on my waist, mine on your shoulder

Together

We didn’t speak; only danced

But then I saw

I looked up into your eyes, your blue eyes

You were sad

Something wrong

In your head

I asked you what had happened

And you said

That when the clock struck 12, you would be gone

The clock struck 12

You ran away, you left me

I recall

I stretched my hand out to try and reach you

But you were gone

It was a night of romance

Just one night
