LAST DANCE

Slowly, you pull me to the dance floor
as I take you in my arms
Starting to sway to the music
as my feelings slowly fill my being
you rest your head on my shoulder
as we dance in the darkness of this cold night
feeling tears well up inside
as another song fills my mind
the song that speaks my heart
and the love I once felt for you
pulling you a little closer
feeling your body next to mine
I kiss your cheek so softly
wanting to whisper, I love you
but I cannot, because of your love for another
I sigh, envying the man who holds your heart
but yet remembering the cold chill of sorrow
because of the heartache I still feel inside
as the music stops, I look into your eyes
with a gentle smile, I whisper softly
"I could've missed the pain...
but I would have to miss... the dance"
