Dancing In The Moonlight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight...

They took the long way home

On the night of their anniversary

To stop and smell the roses

In the middle of Central Park,

He takes her hand

And leads her into a dance

That's warm and full of love 

They don't need music

To dance in the moonlight

Because they stir music and desire

In each other 

As they sway to the beat within,

They look up in the sky to see

An orbit of memories 

Encircling them as they dance

The moon shines bright

As they look into each other's eyes

She smiles at him and says 

"I love you,"

He smiles with pride

And continues to dance

Because he had a surprise for her;

He reaches into his pocket

And pulls out a box, 

Could it be what she thinks it is?

He kneels down before her and asks

"Will you marry me?"

She says yes,

And they hugged,

And kissed

While dancing the night away in the moonlight

Story created- a love story. At first I thought those two were an old married couple, still in love, but when I read the marriage proposal part I could envision their love lasting that long. All the details come alive, and really paint a picture. This poem touches the heart.

Aww I like it, so sweet!
