One Time

One Time

A Poem by Mark
"

The dance of boys and girls. selection, rejection... move on.

"
I saw you dancin'
under the lights
You were smilin';
everything right

I felt romantic
so I walked over your way.
But you saw just one
of a thousand guys

Oh baby, just one time
all it takes to find
just give, oh just give in
just this one time...

I commented about your dress
You asked what's wrong
But I can see in your eyes
that it might go my way

I saw that look in your eye
asked you to dance, 
givin' nothing away
but always looking

for that one time
just give me the one time
baby, one time and I'll
take us away...

so baby, just one time
all it takes to find
just give, oh just give me
one time...

I couldn't talk over the sounds
the beat was moving 
both of us around, I was
happy for this one time.

When it was over, 
the words that I found
made you smile and, 
you didn't push me away.

you gave me one time...
and we now are forever
together, we are, 
for that all time baby.

cuz you gave me that one time
just one time, baby....
one time, one time, one time
and it took us both away...

Feeling in a pop song mood. hope you like it. For those of you who watch 'The Voice' on NBC, I'm hearing Trevyn Hunt singing this.

Just one time sounds like a divine dance together- surely once won't be enough?

Christ Mark you are an old romantic. Just like moi! but ladies these days see us as expendable, like Durex. Nice piece on trying to move in on a relationship.
