When the music reaches my ears
The heightening boom of sound activates my body with movement
The rhythm washes over me
Like the ocean tide on sand
Every new day feels like the first
And our relationship is given a rebirth
And I feel the need to get to know you
As I would a new friend
I show you off when my arm does a wave
When my torso moves from place to place
When I roll my body and circle my waist
When my legs kick up in the air
You are my escape, my true love
You are the language that my body is meant to speak
You are the poetry to my dancing feet
Whenever days get hard, you take over my soul and heal me
