Would you care to Dance?

Would you care to dance?

I love the mask you are wearing

It looks so amazing

It jump starts my imagination

I want to examine it, your mask

all the intricate details captivate me

You have used it effectively to capture my attention

Now I want you to take it off

I want to see the real you

Are you afraid to take off your mask?

Are you afraid I wont find your real face as beautiful?

Will I recoil in horror when I find out who you really are?

Do you like my mask?

I put it on just for you

Does the mask I wear impress you?

Do you like all the intricate details I've carved into my mask?

Have I used it effectively to capture your attention?

Do you want me to take it off?

I can't wear my mask forever

Would you think my real face is just as beautiful?

The dance is just about over

You've been a delightful partner

When I take off my mask

will you recoil in horror when you find out who I really am?
