In the middle of a crowded room

You look so lovely
drunkenly dancing with your dark hair
hiding your face
encouraging me to run my fingers across your cheeks
and behind your ears
removing your hair
and exposing your lips to the lust that lies waiting behind mine

Pressing our bodies together
in the middle of a crowded room
feeling the envious eyes of every other guy
burning on the back of my neck
wondering "Why him?"

You must feel it too
because your eloquent eyes suddenly seem empty

And as the songs ends
you begin to leave
and I stand at the top of the stairs
helplessly hoping for a kiss goodnight
but you walk away without a word
and I'm left to dance alone
in the middle of a crowded room
