Dance

It wasn't exactly the most romantic of all nights. But it was one heck of a night to remember and cherish a lifetime.
Dinner was good, great even. Had grilled chops and iced tea to go with it. Your favorit Pizza Bites and your newly thought of game of ping, which up to now I can't figure how you got that idea. But it was cute though, really cute.

As time ticked and tocked, I grew nervous. It felt like it's the first time having you join me for dinner. I could see my hands literally shaking out of nervousness.

I invited you over to my place. We were supposed to talk, make sense of things that don't.

As I opened the door for her, my heart started pounding so hard. You would think that there was a little drum festival inside it, with drums being beaten as if there is no tomorrow. Easy does it. Shoot! I forgot to tidy things up. The scent wasn't al that sweet either. Way to go moron.

I played the songs that I already prepared. Songs that we have shared. Songs that have narrated our story. I approached you from where you were seated. Offered my hand to you and asked you to dance.

As the music played, we swayed and let the melody drift us to a plce where the only things that mattered was you and me. I held you tight, as tight as I could like a child afraid of losing his favorite toy or candies to strangers. All of a sudden, I just broke down, cried like a little baby longing for his mom whose only refuge he could get was from her warmth and embrace. I held you as close as I could. I felt your heart beat next to mine. I felt you skin against mine. I could hear you breathe. I just missed you so. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing as if a dark cloude whose rain could offer a decade of tears or maybe even more. I also felt you cry over my shoulder. I felt you grip me tight, so tight. As a tear flowed from her eyes, I cried twice as hard.

Then the four walls of the room was no longer there. The creaky floor was nowhere to be found and no longer making its sound. The music, I could hear no more. It was just you and me. It was just the darkness of space around with distant stars providing us light, much like fireflies dancing with us at that moment as if celebrating a love that was so true and real, at least for me that time.

Two hearts that were once whole, are now together again at that moment. They once beat as one. They once share the same blood running through them. They once completed each other. But that is no longer true. The other now shares her heart with someone eles. It now beats with someone else. It now longs for someone else. I know that. But at least, I felt how beautifyl and great it is to be with you again, even for once, although it would have been better to have it forever. Dance with you 'til forever ends.

I know that it would be too difficult to have it back the way it used to be, maybe even impossible. But I won't stop loving you. I just can't because my heart belongs to you.
