Our Dance

I stopped seeing the people around us; I stopped wondering if they thought I looked good; I stopped worrying about my hair getting curly due to the sweat.  I stopped thinking, wondering, worrying, and I just felt the music like never before in my life, and the rhythm took over me.  It is difficult to explain, but the feeling was amazing.  It was blissful.  It was like if that moment was meant to be, everything in order, or perhaps everything out of place, yet in perfect harmony.  My shoes were off, I didn't care.  I was smiling and enjoying every second of it.  The songs kept changing, so did the genres of music…(salsa, merengue, hip hop, nortena, reggaeton, even country!) but I didn't want to stop, I couldn't stop.  His hands led me around, moved me, turned me, touched me, handled me with passion and I could tell that he was enjoying it just as much as I was. It was truly like making love in the club, to a whole new level. No, it wasn't sexual, but it was passionate, it was sensual. It felt right in every way. Nothing else mattered then; both of us were determined to dance until we couldn't move, or until the music stopped, and it felt like it would never happen… I felt thankful for that. No, we didn't stop. We kept going… we didn't sleep that night. We were smiling that night. We got up on stage, and danced… just us. I think people felt it too, or perhaps they didn't… but the moment was ours so it didn't matter. I've never danced like that in my life. I would describe that night as perfect. No, I'm not saying I'm the best dancer, I'm not saying we were perfect to others' eyes while doing it… but it was indeed perfection, to me, maybe to him as well. It was the most exciting moment I've experienced in a very long time. It was a moment, that lasted several hours… a moment in which I felt completely happy. Nothing else bothered me. I knew that it would last forever… the feeling… the experience… the passion I felt while doing what I love most. My body, my heart and my mind were in sync. I had a lot of fun. It was far beyond fun, it was sublime. I am glad I got to experience this… with him, a great dancer, an awesome friend, a great man. I didn't want the night to end... I didn't want to leave him. It was really meant to happen. My body was loose, alowing me to move like never before; every muscle and bone in my body participated, it felt like running water... so natural. I loved it! What an awesome experience! I couldn't have asked for more.  (September 17, 2008)
