these old songs

Twelve years ago
I saw the best show of my life
twelve years ago
I waded in deep
no apologies
front row
me in the center
I reveled in the beat,
the sweat, the blood
and all the rest
Now, I've let it lay still
in the quiet dust
Thirteen years ago
you entered my atmosphere
It's hard to believe
I was ever able to breathe
without you
You were such an unreality
I vowed to give you form
These old songs
are still on my playlist
Does that tell you anything?
Do you see my body rocking?
It's just my heart beating
now let's pick up
where we left off
because the night
can't get any colder
and my words can't get
much bolder
It's you and me
It's a private thing
we dance to our own cadence.
