Hearts aflutter
lips in sync
you sway a little
to the cool jazz beat

"... in my heart, I know
when you go out to explore..."

Our gaze meets
from across the room
when you smile like that
i can't help but swoon.

"This last night, won't you act like you
will stay for a long time..."

In my head I imagine
your hand clutching mine
We slow dance to the beat
keeping to the time.

"I don't know how, but i know I'll find a way
to make you stay awhile..."

In reality, we're here
standing mere metres from eachother
but holding so much distance
singing the same words to eachother.

"Until I feel you leave my veins."
