It was like the music was thrumming through our veins, moving through our blood, and all I could see was her face in front of mine, and we were spinning, spinning so fast, but her eyes were shining, and I was laughing, marveling at the girl in my arms.

     It was summer, but the heat couldn't touch me, not anymore, because there was a fire in my bones, and I vowed right then and there to never let her go, never end this moment. 

     Her hair was whipping behind her head, and I so desperately wanted to kiss the smile on her face, to feel that smile against my lips. Her dress was billowing around her body, and by the gods, she looked so beautiful, and I could hardly believe I was even allowed to witness it. 

     There was a beat pounding in my ears, in sync with the one thumping through my heart. Her hands were in mine, and I didn't know how long we'd been going in circles, only that every moment was perfection itself. 

     I didn't think about what would happen once we stopped, once the music ended. I only drowned in the color of her eyes and made a promise to never stop loving her, no matter what happened. She was staring into my eyes, and I had never seen her so happy before, and I was transfixed by the sheer joy etched into the lines of her face. 

     And then we started slowing down, and I knew deep down the song was over, knew it was time to let go. 

     But I couldn’t, wouldn’t let go of the girl in my arms, and once our feet finally stopped moving, I tugged her arm towards me in one motion, and perhaps someone was smiling down upon me, because she fell into me perfectly, like she was born to be there, and I didn’t think twice before leaning my head down and kissing her soft lips. 

     And for one moment, one terrifying moment, it was frozen. But that moment passed, and there she was, wrapping her arms around my neck, opening her mouth underneath mine, and the stars celebrated above us, and I smiled, because perhaps dreams could come true after all.
