Just for Tonight...

By Armor for your life

Dance for me darling,
I love the way my heart breaks
Beneath your feet.

I love the way your caustic lips
Set fire to every word that comes from your mouth
Burning my ears as I hang on every sentence.

If I reach for the sky
I know I can touch the stars
Because it glows on my fingertips,
Giving proof that thinking of you extends my reach.

Just for tonight forget that I’m a poet
Who’s in love with an angel.
And pretend I’m just a boy who’s in love with a girl.

If you lose heart.
Take some of mine off the floor.
Just don't stop dancing,
Because the sun is hitting your face just right
And I can tell God hide heaven in your eyes.

Dancing, fire, heaven, poets, love... I love every word in here. If I was that girl/angel, I would fall on my back just by reading this.
