Hopeless State Of Mind

Slow Dance

You had asked me
If I've ever slow danced
By a fire before.
I said no.

Out of the corner
Of my eye,
I saw you jump up
And walk over to me.

You laid your eyes on me
Expectantly while
They Sparkled
With an emotion
I couldn't quite understand.
And a small smile caressing
Your lips,
With your hand stretched out
For me to grab.

I had grabbed your hand
And stood up with you.
You put on some
John Mayer
To play silently in the
Background
As you started to lead
The dance,
While we held each other
As close as we could.

It was nice,
But I didn't know
What it meant for us.

My parents had told me
When I was younger
That if someone was to ask
Me to slow dance with them,
It mean they loved and cared
For me.

For that one song,
I was the happiest
I've ever been
Because I though
You did.

Only problem there was,
Was that as the song
Faded out, so did you.
You just vanished
And I awoke.

we were merely
Just a dream
That I wish
Was reality.
You still don't
Love or care
For me.
