What love is really like.
Dancing to the slow compass of the melody, I find myself distancing from reality. My feet instinctively following a rhythm I never heard before. Despite the bodies that surround us, my mind feels in extreme peace, as if it was only you and me. Forgetting my surroundings, I focus solely on your lips, the ones you unconsciously lick. Your dark chocolate eyes conquer me and project such warmth I feel my body fall on you. As usual, a slight smirk births in between your lips when you help me regain control of my body and I immediately divert my gaze before I expose myself. Truth being told, you are the only person who has ever been able to make me feel this way. Yes, “this way”. A feeling I can’t quite describe as I am so new to it. Neither butterflies on my stomach, nor my heart skipping a beat. More so it feels like a constant insomnia my mind is a subject to. There hasn’t been a single moment where you leave my mind. That smile of yours, that brings the cute dimples to their surface, sweeps me off my feet. Yet for you to really understand what you do to me, please observe how the world froze mid-scene.
Glasses of champagne, whose bubbles are trapped inside, gently prisoned by the guests’ hands. The subtle flow of the ladies skirts freeze mid-air, undisturbed by the soft breeze. The clock hanging from the ancient wall has stopped its constant sound. And the music is no longer the dance. I force myself to really see, what’s beyond the limit of my eyes. I suddenly listen, to our simultaneous breaths, and the slight touch of our hands. The silk of my dress sliding in between your fingers and I feel your calloused hands that embrace my own. I wonder what it is my nostrils are picking up. A soft aroma that swarms me to sleep. A gentle caress over my cheeks. The taste of words dying to come out are the main characters inside my mouth. My yet to be confessed feelings ache to reveal themselves. Still I feel the expectations of what love is. The world remains as still as concrete and I take my time to appreciate you. Our gazes intertwine and form a knot stronger than gravity. We look deeply into each other’s souls and finally understand, not enough words exist to describe this intense love.
