all over again

The ice sits in my glass,

dripping with whiskey residue

I am warm,

with cheeks flushed

I remove my coat,

as you drag me to the dance floor

The music echoes through my bones,

My feet tingle,

as my second drink sets in

We sway to the rythm of the tunes,

as the base drowns out all lonliness

I lose all senses,

with you,

you stranger you

Your hands caress my swinging hips

I glide closer to you,

leaving no space between us

Suddenly we are moving as one

Unaware of those around us

My heart is beating out of my chest

as we make our way to the bar,

I sip slowly,

anticipating your next move

My cheeks hurt from laughing too hard,

and I am all smiles tonight,

Your hands find mine,

with ease we are back in motion

twirling around,

as your arms grip my waist

The breath catches in my throat,

as your lips move up my neck

I shiver with excitement

as you softly kiss my cheek

My eyes close,

forseeing where your lips will be next

Then the moment comes,

I hear it, faintly at first,

That song, that old familiar tune,

I compose myself, suddenly aware

The blood rushes from my face,

as I stumble out the door

leaving my dear stranger
in complete disarray

It takes no time at all
for the song to end,

but the damage is done,

and I'll have to forget you
all over again
