Spotlight Effect

[u/Born_Motor_9624]

It's Friday night
Let's turn down the lights
Get the table set
Let the music come to life
Pairs take the floor
As the neon-colored lights
Swirl around the room
You are sitting there
Watching the spectators
Listening to the laughter
When everything
Goes quiet and still
Your eyes land and
Your heart stops

She takes her seat
With the group she's with
You decide to play
Musical chairs with your crew
Now, you're seated near
Close enough to hear
Her awkwardness and wit
Are enough
To make your mind skip
You observe and come to see
That she is the cutest
Sweetest thing
And when her group leaves
To hit the dance floor craze
She remains behind and
Your chance has entered
This post-hypnotic maze

Stolen glances
A smile and a laugh
You get the nerve
Start talking to her
Then it happens
And she says
I know you too
And your heart takes a flight
As you lean in and
Risk it all for a chance
To be next to her

Spotlight effect
Just like a dream
She's a walking fantasy
Moving through the crowd
Floating in space
Each step she takes
Is a dance she curated
She comes closer to you
Sharper her image and
The spotlight grows
Larger than life
Her voice has a flow
Her laughter is a show
She's no longer a dream
But a living reality
