I see myself dancing with you
and it's funny that it's all I want.

Growing up,
my mother always
told me that I have
two left feet and nothing
is wrong with that.

My father, he would always
compliment the rigidity,
the structure my bones have.

And my cousin, we'd hold hands
and skip merrily around that tree
and copy shampoo commercials
with towels on our hair.

I don't know what it is with dancing
that I'm so in love with,
that even though I was never good
at it, I crave it and its feeling,

and I don't know what it is with you
that I'm so in love with,
that even though I rarely see you,
I will always be yours.
