Aeternum

As I took her by the hand, the music faded into the endless crowd of people dancing around us. It all became a blur, a jumble; of confusion, of chaos, of foolishness, of youth, of young love. And here we stood - her and I, among the jumbled crowd. Of course it did not seem so. In the moment we had vanished from the blur and entered our own universe. So her and I, together, just us, stood in the vastly empty abyss. We began to sway to the music as our eyes met each other. In the moment, before me stood a sentiment of purity and beauty. Everything about her was enticing, from the passionate red of her hair to the beautiful yet murky hazel of her eyes. In this moment I lost the ability to speak. All I could do was stare at her with my dopish grin, as I was embodied with everlasting and overwhelming joy, love, and thankfulness. Nothing mattered as long as I could just hold her, dance with her, and be with her for just a few minutes more. After seconds of silence she looked at me to inquire about the awe that had impaired my speech. She was so beautiful. And that’s what I told her, after which she nuzzled her head into my chest and let me hold her close to my heart for what I wish was an eternity. I loved her, and I always will. In my head, and in my heart, I am still there with her that night dancing - forever holding her, forever at peace. Aeternus et umquam.
