AtSunset

Have you ever done the dance of love? It is a very special dance. It is where two people see each other for the very first time, nothing has to be said between them, no words are needed, they both know. All they have to do is have their eyes meet, for just a brief moment and it will make their hearts beat, dancing in unison without missing a step. But when they do meet it is for a lifetime, it takes that long for lovers who dance the dance of love.

I had dreamed about the dance of love and who my partner would be, soft spoken and gentle but yet strong enough to get me through the tough times that would surely lie ahead for two hearts that beat as one. He would need to have a gift of singing a song to me to cheer me and take away my troubles if only for a short time, sometimes we would sing together sharing our common love of music. A hard working man with a loving embrace but who when he kissed me left no doubt in my mind that I had been kissed, with moist soft lips filled with love and passion. Big brown eyes that I could look into and get lost in their depth, and all the while his hand would be running gently through my long hair and then dropping down and softly tracing the outline of my body which he knew so well. I could feel his heart beating as I rested my head on his chest, intoxicated by the mere smell of him, so manly and I was certain he could hear my heart beating as well, he had to, it seemed to be beating so loud, he had to hear it, didn’t he? I could feel his breathe on my brow, all I had to do was to look up and gaze into his eyes and the dance of love would start again. We didn’t need any lights to see because our dance of love had been going on for an eternity. I loved touching his face, his lips and then letting my fingers move down to his strong beard and then slowly down to his chest, where I would rest my hand over his heart to feel the steady rhythm. I would look up again into his beautiful brown eyes and our lips would meet once more, lost for the moment in each other, hoping nothing would interrupt this dance.

We never wanted it to end, when he left in the morning to go to work, there was always just a little more time where he could cuddle with me and hold me and when he finally would have to go one kiss that turned into two and we lingered not wanting to break apart and let go of this moment.

Stolen glances or smiles at each other if we chance to meet during the day and we would always try to find some time or place where again our lips could meet if just for a brief moment to last us through the day until once again he would return home, with me waiting there for him and our bodies would be embraced in a warm hug and we would start to gently sway to the music that only he and I heard.

Nothing said, nothing needing to be said between two lovers meeting at the end of the day.
