First Date

tucked away amongst the overgrowth
a band plays to a seated crowd
bass travels through the air
chills run down the spine
past legs towards feet that
tap to a newfound tempo

your palm in mine a distraction
fingers interlocked, we sway
two people, one shared vibration
nervous smiles exchanged
first date and yet sure
there came a time we met before

with the way your scent lingers
in my mind, as do thoughts of you
will we see each other again?
