I think we were never strangers- <br />I think we were always friends; <br />Standing shyly across the room <br />Just waiting- to begin/ <br /> <br />I think I dropped a curtsy <br />I think you kissed my hand- <br />And then we started in to dance <br />Accompanied by the band/ <br /> <br />Men and women dancing <br />Is far older than the wheel; <br />Older than the glowing fire <br />Or the warmth that embers feel/ <br /> <br />And we will go on dancing <br />Till they turn out the lights- <br />And we'll just go on whirling, whirling <br />Until the stars say goodnight/ <br /> <br />I think we were never strangers; <br />For we met in each others dreams, <br />And reality stepped aside for once <br />In the playing firelight's gleam/<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-think-we-were-never-strangers/
