ROMANCE Poem: Following your Gentle Footsteps, by Aiyana Ramos

Dipping you down
Head tilts back and a smile on your lips
Lift and twirl
You can’t help but burst into a fit of giggles
I smile and hold your hand tighter, spinning you again for a gentle flare
I was told to be the leader
To be the one making the steps
The gentle motions of my feet against the floorboards
Yet I can’t help but let you lead
The way your hair flows with each movement
I follow your gentle steps
My feet move with my heart
My heart moves with you
You lift my hand and I twirl you
We smile
One
Two
Three
Spin with my left hand
Five
Six
Seven
Spin with my right hand and dip you down
You chuckle and hold onto my wrist
The smile never left my face
Cause it never left yours
I will forever follow your gentle footsteps
Each dip
Twirl
Kiss
I’m the leader
And I chose to follow you
