I danced, I laughed, I glowed,
but the part I'll remember the most,
wasn't the music,
my outfit,
or even the cheering of the crowd.
It was the way you looked at me the moment I stepped out of my gate,
the way we weren't near but not far either,
the glances we shared as we passed,
silent words exchanged in a crowded space,
and the smiles that said,
"I've never been happier, than I am in this moment with you."
It was the way that the second we fell into each other's arms,
the world around us faded,
and it felt like it was just the two of us.
It was the way we sat beside each other that night in the car, darkness all around,
but our eyes never losing sight of one another.
Your hand found mine, and there we were, fingers intertwined, eyes locked on each other,
hearts speaking in silence, and again,
the world stopped just for us.
It was the way, we held back,
even when we didn't want to,
and the way we held each other,
in moments we never wanted to end.
It was the way, your hand found my waist,
as mine rested on your shoulder,
and suddenly, I couldn't even hear the music anymore,
all I could hear was your voice,
our soft conversations,
and shared laughter,
our hearts beating fast every time we looked up and our eyes met.
It was the way you leaned on me,
and before I even reached the place, I call home,
I was already home,
lost in the feeling of your hands in my mine, and your head resting on my shoulder,
no words needed to be exchanged, as the presence of one another is simply enough.
It was the way the first time our eyes landed on each other,
we just knew it was our silent, "You're breathtaking", to each other,
words that couldn't be said out loud so instead, our eyes spoke,
conveying silent messages that we just...
understood.
It was the way my face lit up brighter than stars,
when the words, "I already got my wish", as you pointed to me, left your mouth.
It was the way your gaze fell on me and mine on you,
it was the way you looked at me every time we passed each other,
a look that said, "I want you; I need you; I love you", without a single word being spoken.
It was just the two of us,
hands, hearts, songs,
glances, smiles, echoes of laughter,
a slow dance,
a family that welcomed me like their own,
and moments that turned into memories,
that I will hold and cherish forever.
So yes,
I danced, I laughed, I glowed.
But that's not what I'll remember most.
It's the feeling of elysian,
the feeling of finding home in the person that you know is your forever.
As I danced, I laughed, and I glowed,
what I'm certain I'll remember the most is how perfect the day was.
On the day God brought you into this world,
I got to stand by your side,
and call you mine.
That's the part I'll forever keep in my heart.
I danced, I laughed, I glowed,
but the part I'll remember most,
is how you danced,
how you laughed,
and how you glowed.
And to me,
that was my definition of perfection.
YOU.
- Because that night, I didn't just see you, I saw everything I ever prayed for ❤️
