Like no one's watching

I was multi-media-ed by Boo last night. This gem surfaced and refuses to be erased--especially not after the accidental discovery of its lyrics. The dance makes my stomach sink, then soar, and land in a knot of emotion. The song gives me shivers.



The almost-kiss is beautiful, the envelopement--full of passion; he inhales her. And when she hits that note. It all makes me want to burst.

"Dancing" - Elisa

Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly
The depth of life will dim the temptation to live for you
If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
'cause it's all about love and I know better
How life is a waving feather

So I put my arms around you around you
And I know that I'll be leaving soon

My eyes are on you they're on you
And you see that I can't stop shaking
No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

The confession is that I've always wanted to be able to dance like this. And the joke is that if I ever won the lottery, I'd give it all up and become a back-up dancer. But the truth is that I'd want to dance with a partner; one that was always in step with me, that matches my every move, that catches me when I take the leap. And in the end if I had that, I don't know that I'd need to perform across the globe, just only to have a single chance to express an emotion such as this even if only to him.
