I wish that tonight, <br />before the sunrise comes, <br />we can dance as passionate as we can <br />for as long the music plays <br />and we are still young and full of life. <br />Then I will be able to smile for no reason at all, <br />dream with out time limits, <br />give with out thinking what I’m losing, <br />dance just for the sake of the moment. <br /> <br />If only we could tango on no matter what, <br />as if age is meaningless and <br />the fire in our souls is enough <br />to keep the fading music <br />and the blinding lights <br />A bit longer. <br />A lifetime longer. <br />Then, at least in my mind, <br />No one will ever be really blind or deaf. <br /> <br />And even if the music stops, <br />Because they think it is too late <br />And the lights expose us again <br />to the rest of the world <br />and the dance floor no longer belongs to us <br />but to the next generation <br />that can dance faster and better, <br />promise to me that at least in our dreams <br />nothing will change and we’ll continue to dance <br />until the dance floor becomes a cloud, <br />and the music a chorus of angels. <br /> <br />Then I’ll be able to consider <br />our hopes timeless <br />and ourselves immortals.<br /><br />Ivy Christou<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-s-tango-on/
