They were strangers,

In a room full of couples.

The instructor paired them,

They locked eyes.

The first step, then

The second.. Over and over,

Everyone practiced.

Sometimes the music played,

And sometimes all that surrounded

Them…muffled.

Intensely transforming the

awkwardness

To an ecstatic & impeccable

synchronization.

The class created a new song,

their song…

The song that only

Souls understand.
