The Twirl
You danced with me
under the youthful trees
no music played just
the summer breeze
you took my breath
with every touch
your words were perfect
you said just enough
I tried to hide
how you made me
feel because I knew
that we just couldn’t be
You already had your girl
And I was just someone
You liked to twirl
That night we spent
beneath the stars
when you told me
you loved me, and
showed me all your scars
that night I should have
held your hand
that night I didn’t kiss you
when I should have
But that night I was
someone elses girl
so all we shared was
a midnight twirl
on those swings
so many stories we
would tell
you were the first
that in love I fell!
