1.
ages ago
I wished
a secret wish
on sweet sixteen
birthday candles
I wished
I could dance
my sweet sixteen
with you
wished
us two girls
could dance
our rite of passage
together
when
the needle dropped
and the
music played
dance
just dance
like any
natural born lovers
would
all
night
long.
2.
for
so many years
when
the needle dropped
and the
music played
it was
only
your name
I wanted to see
on my
dance card
it was
only
you
forever
you
I’d set
my heart
on
you
I wished
would come
dance
with me
wished
would come
fill
my arms
fill
my life
for always.
3.
instead
when
the needle dropped
time
danced
between us
time
filled
my arms
with
an
eternity
of
undanced
dances
of
hollow
desert
years
without
the music
of
you.
4.
now
after years
lost
and
long
with
waiting
tonight
my wish
of sweet sixteen
comes true
tonight
this night
we dance
when the
needle drops
and the
music plays
we dance
our rite of passage
long denied
dance
our dance
at last
two women
smiling in each other’s eyes
dancin
two women
movin and groovin
dancin
two women
fearless and free
dancin
two women
natural born lovers
together
forever
dancin
all
life
long.
