The bewitching lyrics of 'Perfect' rolled down smoothly from the broken disc. Your hands on my waist and my arms wrapped around your neck in a securing way, we close the gaps as our hips moved in sync.

Not just to dance, but to feel the ethereal moment of bliss.

Perfect. Just like us.

Two unsolved puzzles ready to create a shape so vast. A shape of their own world where no one dared to enter.

Mysterious, foggy, yet surreal in its own way.

Tucking a loose strand of my brown curl, you looked at me the way i always wanted to be looked first, making my heart flutter with numerous butterflies.

It's in the eyes, always the eyes.

You looked at me like you just realized what love was.

Adoringly, affectionately you held me so close to your chest that i could count your beating heart.

Beating for me.

"I don't want to leave you, love." a tear slipped from your beautiful ocean orbs. "Being alone was never hard before i met you."

The lone tear from my amber ones fell too.

"It's you. Because no one else makes sense. I fell for you and am still falling."

You gulped. I smiled.

"Fuck it. I love you."

You knew I didn't need to say anything when my action was acted upon. So when my lips smashed against yours, moving fiercely like a hungry beast, i felt whole.

The world changes when eyes met.

So did ours.

We danced and danced. Until the moon met its horizon. Until the wind caressed the leafy banners. Until the flowers blossomed. Until the radio could make no more sounds. Until we became one.

Our souls became attached.
