His rough squeeze around my waist as “Lips of an Angel” plays in the background. His hand moves to my face with that 'so into you' look. His hazel blue eyes staring into mine. That look of pure sweet love for another person.

I move my hand over. At first I can feel and see the table and floor. Then everything gets fuzzy. My bed and dresser becomes nothing but a blur. Hinder is drowned out, unable to be heard. Black and white static finally consumes everything. The pounding of two hearts is all you can hear. The floors drop but somehow I still stand with him. He’s they’re holding on so tight. As if he’s afraid to let me go.

The walls disappear into a black sky, which then turns into nothing but space. It’s only the two of us in that big, cold, dark place. White light appears over us. It’s like a spotlight, so all we see is each other holding on for that last breath. All I see are his smile, his eyes, and his arms around me keeping me safe from harm. The breathless kiss of us together.

Those cold sweet smooth lips reaching out to kiss my cheek. A kiss so strong your whole body goes numb. You kiss him on his cheek as you wrap your arms around his neck. Finding yourself dancing to a beat in the dream world. That empty room with your arms holding him at peace.

You breath into the power of his cologne mixed with a vanilla smell. That scent from my perfume is so strong it stays with you. That strong cologne is like a secondhand smell. It always follows you around. Then in the distance, light starts to reappear. I never want to leave this place by his side. My dream that is so real starts coming to an end. Never wanting to leave, or to return to reality.
