Gone...again

She had managed to drag me out to the dance floor, after our food at settled and the karaoke had ended.

This was different then what it was at the party we had went to.

There were no drunken bodies slamming into each other, their was spilled drinks clashing against the floor.

People were just dancing and having a good time.

A slow song began to play, the hum of soft Spanish reggae greeting our ears.

"Oh my god, this is my favorite song".

She was gently swaying to the music.

"Then may I have this dance Madame?" 

..."You may".

I grasped her hand and pulled her closer to me, our bodies swaying to the tune.

Time was of no essence to us, it was like it was just me and her on the dance floor.

Her eyes were closed and she hummed along.

I could feel myself leaning closer to her, her chest together and bodies close.

As the song came to and end, she opened her eyes, looking up into mine.

Her green eyes were lidded, sparkling and daring me to continue.

We both leaned closer subconsciously...

Our lips were millimeters apart...

Our lips brushed sweetly against each other...

And then she pulled away, her once lidded eyes wide in shock, hands covering her lips.

She ran out of the building, leaving me rigid and alone, right in the middle of the dance floor.

I had almost kissed her.

And now shes gone.

And now I'm here alone.

Without her.
