(on the dance floor)

You never did remember me.

I danced with you that moment; orange dress, dancing shoes, beads of sweat forming along with the beat that you could feel creeping up your bones as you swayed with the music ---

alone; looking for a partner to dance with, through the colorful lights that lit up the whole dance floor; through the sea of people moving their bodies to the music ---

introducing yourself to me: we bow to each other, and as you held my hand, we let our bodies do all the work; dancing to the beat of the music, our shoes feeling lightweight, our hips swaying and beads of sweat dripping ---

turn to here, walk to there; twirl me here, I go back there; on and on, we dance to the tune, we boogie while the beat’s still there, no signs of stopping ---

by the time the music stops playing, we slowly drift away each other; we move on our lives, dancing throughout the night ---

time passes by, I see you pass by ---

I say hi ---

--- you didn’t even wave goodbye.
