Red eyes. Tired. Confused.
That's what they all think. Everyone around me
Red eyes? Yes.
Tired? Yes.
Confused? No.
I feel it like my thoughts are ordering themselves
Piece by piece
The ears are numbed by the loud music
The eyes struggle to get used to the different colours
They watch the people on the dance floor
Each for themselves, each at their own pace
Body against body
Beat to beat
Note for note
I discover you. You in your white T-shirt
sometimes with purple, green or blue stripes
Happy to be here.
To be you.
Beat to beat
Note for note
In the rhythm
I see you
think that I'd like to give you everything
The love you need
The person you want
Perfection
that's what I'd like to be for you
Like the song
played for each other
dancing
Body against body
I could let them fall, you know?
The wall
Just for you
But then I realise
The rhythm is different
to which you move.
I don't hear it.
Maybe only you
in your head
I'm not the song
to which you dance
