The stage is bright like a candle
people cheering, screaming their name
my friend and I squeeze our way through
once we get a decent view of the side of the stage
we dance without a care
as I twirl
a boy
taking pictures of the Marley brothers
catches my eye
he looked majestic just standing there
I could feel my heart pounding
my friend grabs my hand to move closer to the stage
...to him...
we're standing right next to him
"Do you guys want to stand in front of me" he says followed by the most beautiful smile I've ever seen
"If you don't mind"
"Not at all beautiful"
I blush and move
Music blasting everywhere
I feel free...
the lady next to me trips and falls, causing me to bump him
his warm hands wrap around my waist perfectly
"you ok?" he says to me
"yeah I'm fine, thank you for catching me"
"Anytime"
as I looked at him, his eye's, so blue like summer skies, everything disappeared.
"come on lets dance!" my friend yells, unaware of whats going on.
he smiles and lets go
as I danced with her, I found myself turning to look at him again
his eyes closed, letting the music flow through him
"Should I dance with him? or Should I just forget about it?"
Suddenly a huge wave of bravery runs through my body
**** IT!
I grab his hands and pull them towards me, he didn't hesitate as he wrapped his arms around me once more
and we danced
I then knew that this was the boy who had stolen my heart, the boy I wanted to be with right then and there
it was perfect
he was perfect
"what your name?" I ask
"Jake"....
Jake, even his name was perfect
"whats yours?"
"Maggie"
"its beautiful, your beautiful"
butterflies were flying in my stomach
after several songs my friend tells me we had to go
I look at Jake, "I need to go"
we stand still, he holds me tighter, not wanting to let go
"come on, we need to go"
"Will I ever see you again?" he says,
I could see it in his eyes that he was hurting inside
"I don't know, maybe"
he takes a deep breath, and slowly lets go of me
I hold his hand "Ill never forget about you"
as I start to walk away, his pulls me in and kisses me
and in that moment I knew this wouldn't be the last time Id see him
we stop and embrace each other
as I slowly pulled myself away, our hands still holding on to whats left of us
I finally let go, and walk away........
I lost a piece of my heart that day, and never got it back
but I can feel it beating when I think of *HIM
