the park: by the tree, we danced

after having coffee *and frappe, for me*, we agreed that it's time for you to take me home. upon reaching the other side of the street, we tried to hail a cab. but the cabs we’ve seen, most of them are already occupied. so we waited patiently as more taxi's came, but still no luck. then the street went silent for a moment. not one vehicle was passing by, and people are nowhere in sight. still holding hands, we faced each other and utter no word. but gravity had its way that we can never explain.

as the breeze blew and the trees swayed, slowly we moved an inch closer to each other, then another.... then another... til i can already hear your heart beating so fast, and i bet, you heard mine as well. you then slowly put your hand at the small of my back ever so lightly, as if it's going to break. and i ran my fingers on your arm, up to your shoulder, and when my hand found its place, i held you closer to me as i slowly closed my eyes. i felt your breathing, softly on my neck. your chest gradually moving, still with the heavy pounding of your heart. then your slightest touch... instantly sent shivers all over. i let out a big sigh.... and oh!!! how wonderful that feeling was. it was perfect! its a feeling so wonderful ... so magical that we couldn't even understand.

we stayed that way a few seconds more. not minding the cars and the people passing by. then you started swaying a little, left to right then back again. for a moment there, i thought you were uncomfortable, until i got the rhythm and realized you were leading me to a slow dance. we held each other closer, and moved together - as a slow song playing in our heads. though we never knew what song it was, but we heard the music playing around us, and we danced................ we floated...
