6. may i have this dance?

i know they hurt you,
made you feel weak,
they didn’t treat you
the way you deserve.
all of the pain and the
stress starts to rise, and
you feel it’s impossible
to trust a single person,
for fear that they might
hurt you the same way.
but just for this night,
i ask you once kindly,

may i have this dance?

may we have one night
to move together and
forget everything else?
take away the hurting,
forget what they did,
and just be happy now?
you deserve to be loved,
and i want you to make
you the happiest ever,
even if it’s just for one
single small bit of time,
can we do this together?

can we have one moment?

let’s sway back and forth,
rest your head upon my
shoulder and feel safe.
enjoy the magic of it all,
feel comfort in knowing
that we have each other,
and i won’t hurt you in the
same way that they all did.
let me hold you in my arms
as a slow-dance track plays,
and forget those that hurt you,
i promise i won’t do the same.

would you like to dance?
