dance

on a march night
abnormally warm
we took a ride
out to the park

sitting in silence
driving my car
you stopped at the gate
and put it in park

we walked through the playground
and out into the woods
moonlight glowing
illuminating the dark

vividly i remember
my vulnerability
being alone with you
and the silent trees, stark

i gazed at the stars
and pretended not to feel
what we both felt
until you asked me to dance

i was twirling alone
like a happy little girl
when you grabbed my hand
and we took our chance

under the new spring's moon
we sparked something new
spinning out of control
we fell in love
