We’d dance swiftly; neither of us neat
First it would be me, then it would his turn to step on my feet.

We’d realize fast, didn’t work to great,
So we would slow down, making me smile at our fate.

As we dipped and swayed;
I felt my fear and tenseness fade

I lay my head in the crook of his neck

He sighed

I was told to write something about what my first date would be like; I imagined something like this.
