Dance #20: The Sun Dances, My Young Emotions


Sweet Darlin',

I'm not very good at this you know. But tonight, I thought about you—
what you would feel like in my arms slow dancing to an old Ricky Nelson record.
So simple. I would love to hold you and, without words, fall more in love with you
than I have ever loved. You have my heart, you see, and it skips a beat at the thought
of belonging to you. I would twirl you gently and watch that beautiful grin of yours
widen and your eyes fall softly to the floor as you came back to me.
I would never let you go, because surely then I would have fallen into your soul.

a world of hope and laughter and tears and pain
at times a gentle breeze in a hurricane
a world full of doubt but love works it out
young emotions

I have never let on you know, about your way and how deeply you move me.
I close my eyes to see you and my head spins and clocks in the room stop ticking.
You stop the clock, sweet darlin', and make my sun dance forever. So loved.

I've never told you that I would be tender as tender can be—
my lips caressing yours—then on the corner of your mouth to kiss you there slowly.
Twirl and sway beautiful girl. Let me pick you up and carry you off to a life together.

we'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed
for our love will keep us together
and our love will help us to weather
these young emotions

You are my ecstasy.
