If I were younger, I’d take your hand and draw you to the dance floor. You’d feel the warmth of my desire, the beat of my heart, my soul rising to meet yours like steam off hot coffee. You’re sitting alone with downcast eyes, your posture mirroring mine years ago as I attempted to summon the courage to ask a girl to dance. Would I have? I’ll never know. Instead, party lights haloed her hair like an angel as she approached and asked me. The love of my life, taken too soon. If I were younger, I’d give you that.
