Prom in Indigo

Curtains spill the golden afternoon

Laughter on the edge of a changing room

Stepping out and catching your shy glance

The slow start of a prom night dance

Shoes tapping lightly on shining floors

We're barely speaking over closing doors

You in the polka dots, me in the violet light,

Somehow it feels all aligned

Your smile like a song I almost know

Blending colors softly as we go

Crowds swirl in delicate designs

Your dress moving with the blinking signs

Purple shadows drift across my sleeve

Tonight is lighter than I thought we'd leave

Moments lingering behind the rhyme

New beginnings spinning in time

You in the polka dots, me in the violet light,

Somehow it feels all aligned

Your hand finds mine without a word

Floating through the night unheard

Spin in circles—pause, let our hearts decide

Separate colors dancing, side by side

You twirl away and come back slow

Leaving traces only we will know

You in the polka dots, me in the violet light,

Somehow it feels all aligned

Just silhouettes against the star-bright walls

Wearing wonder as the evening callsIt’s simple—you and I,

Dressed in a different sky

Every moment, a memory nearby
