life,

life is like a dancer.
the radiant one.

she attracts spotlight,
she attracts attention,

though she'll never acknowledge it.

her smile is inviting,
if she asks for a dance -
you never consider declining.

her steps are definite,
you'll have to keep up there, buddy.

her count is impeccable,
you'll have to keep up there, buddy.

her confidence is threatening,
you'll have to keep up there, buddy.

but soon you'll figure out
that it's not a matter of keeping up,
it's a matter of dancing.

you gotta want it.

because the song only lasts so long,
and before you know it -
she's moved on.
