Dancing

Two kids

The song

The beat

The rhythm

You know the rhythm, don't you?

Pulling you up

Pulling you to me

Out there

I know it's scary

Couldn't we let go and not care

Just for tonight?

No one's watching

And we are surrounded by friends

And I can't feel myself

Can't control myself

And I love this feeling

Smiling up at you in the grass

Untied shoelaces

Laughter

Sprinkled memories

All around us

Dancing

Not because we know how to dance

Because I want to

With you

Hoppy

Dancey

Thing

Don't really know what we're doing

But you're here and you're with me

And that's good enough

And we're laughing

Dancing

Has never been this fun.

  • I believe

    I believe in America and I believe in who we could be

    but I don't believe in who we are.

    It's so easy to give up and let them reign.

    I am.

    I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,

    and I won't.

  • Envelope

    My science teacher accused me

    playfully and yet fiercely

    of stealing an envelope

    I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part

    so it glues together

    because it was just so tempting.

  • True love

    True love.

    Love that's true.

    Love you know

    in your heart

    is you and another person.

     

    I guess I like to think I'm in love

    I never really know.
