We walked through the doors of the party. There were couples moving together slowly on the make shift dance floor, bodies intertwined and moving rythmically to the music. Then there was a pause and a new song began to play. I can remember how nervous I was when you asked me to dance. And I remember the song! It was Madonna's "Crazy For You".
You put your arm around the small of my back & I could feel the heat of your hand radiating through my dress. Your touch electrified me & my heart starting pounding ten to the dozen. I felt queezy, in a very good kind of way. You gently pulled me into you and you wrapped your arms around me. In that moment it was as though everyone else in the room just disappeared. It was just me, you & the music. I remember thinking that I didn't want the song, this moment, this night to ever end.
This was our very first slow dance & I will never forget it!
You create a wonderful mood via your words, Katherine. The memories you evoke from our own pasts ... I'm sure in each of us who reads these words.
