Slow Dancing...

The candles are dim, there's no one to distract, and the air is cool. she's in her flouncy dress, and he's looking as good as ever. sober as hell, she whispers a slow thank you into his ears. he grins and gives her a soft kiss on her lips.

tell me when will you be mine...
tell me quando quando quando
we can share a love divine
please don't make me wait again

he puts on that song they've vowed to dance to. the first few echoes of synth was enough to have them sway in rhythmic unison as they embrace one another in each other's arms. a flood of promises and lonely nights flashed in both their memories, making that moment even more meaningful as they intertwined their hearts.

when will you say yes to me...
tell me quando quando quando
you mean happiness to me...
oh my love please tell me when..

they couldn't dance. no, they never tried. but the soft and constant ticking of the melody induced slow clumsy movements, and that was bliss enough for two. and as the strings and saxophone ease it's way into the ambience, the two let out synchronized sighs, reminiscing the days of separation.

every moments a day,
every day seems a lifetime
let me show you the way...
to a joy beyond compare

and as the music swept the air from back to front, they started to move in little steps, rocking and swaying gently to the mellow voices of their love, leaving no second wasted in lost translation.

i can't wait a moment more
tell me quando quando quando
just say it's me that you adore..
and then darling tell me when...
