"Can I..."

2002

Can I�talk to you for a minute? You see it�s been a while since we first started this dance of flirtation. Is it the tango�jitterbug�salsa�Texas two-step�lambada�the forbidden dance�we�ve been dancing? I take two steps forward�you take two right along with me. Well I�m hot and sweaty�my feet hurt�and tomorrow�my muscles are gonna ache. So�let�s talk for a minute.

Can I�be real with you? You see I�ve had some things on my mind that I�m tired of hiding�keeping inside. And I just had to let you know�I�m in to you. I feel you�on so many levels�even with the absence of touch. Now I�m not gonna lie�your looks are what first had me dazed�transfixed. But as time went on�I found myself looking beyond the physical�and instead deeper into the real you�your mind�your spirit�your soul. So�is my minute up? Or have I caught and held your attention with my bluntness?

Can I�let you know you bring me peace�and sometimes joy? The sight of your slightest smile brings a mirroring expression to my face for hours. Your voice has me mesmerized�in awe of each word that drops from your lips. I feel as if I�ve known you forever�maybe in a past life�we were together. Constantly I�m thinking I should just get up the courage�the nerve�to tell you all that I�ve been thinking. But I�m kind of shy�and still just a bit afraid�of getting hurt. So�I�ll just get back up and ask simply�

Can I�have this dance?
