Seeing You, Seeing Me

The trumpet sounds.
Her soft voice caresses my being,
The bass heavy in my chest.
Velvet touches my skin

Feet painfully arched in tall shoes,
The pain worth it.

I stand tall, in your direct line of sight
Blonde hair glowing, whipping
Around. I move my body,
Skin sparkling from the makeup I have applied,
Looking to you through

My lashes.
I look away
And that’s when you
Look at me.
Your fingers dance over 
The keys.
You sing quietly into the microphone.
Spotlight soaking your skin,
Flickering across your vision.
I see you
And you see me,
Seeing you
Seeing me
We dance like this all night.
At the end,
Our eyes follow each other as we both 
Walk away.
To get to where we must be going.
The phrase, “We’ll meet again” comes through
My thoughts strongly.
Another time, another day.
I hope our paths cross.

I won’t forget how
Our gazes intertwined.
I’ll say,

“Hello it’s nice to see you again”
You’ll know exactly what 
I mean

Locked in an eternal dance with me.
