The Day I Met The Enigmatic Woman

As she dances, I become entranced.
Her hips flow so well with the beat, that I can not take my eyes off her.
She hypnotizes me, but I don’t even know her name.
I never believed in love at first sight,
But damn she has me reflecting tonight.
I took my last shot. I needed some liquid courage.
I’m sure a goddess like her only gives men like me 2 seconds of attention.
But “play your cards, right?” I hear a whisper in my head.
Then my adrenaline begins to pump.
I approach her knowing I have two left feet for a dancer.
But the confidence was coursing through me. Or the liquor. Whichever.
It felt like a blur.
I asked if it was ok to dance, and she nodded; her attention was on me.
Her energy felt like a magnet —
I was drawn to her.
The room became a blank. All I could see was her. The music blaring through the speakers.
We didn’t speak. With the music so loud it would not have even mattered. But we danced, and a connection began.
