Slow Dancing With Strangers

Life can be like
Slow dancing with strangers
Never sure exactly where you stand
Worried if the next step
Will be out of line
Apprehensive because
You want to get closer
To the heart of it all
But scared to let your feelings show
And fall victim to emotions.
I never could
Slow dance with strangers
Couldn’t be close to
A heart I’ve never known
Rest my head on a
Shoulder I’ve never leant on
Let my lips wander over
A face I’ve never kissed
Perhaps I should step out of line
And discover what
I’ve missed
