When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

I was in the middle of the dance floor alone, with only a dim light shining on me.
Darkness surrounded the rest.

The only noise I heard was the soft music of Ed Sheeran.

Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

A dark figure came towards me, and I backed away scared.

'Am I gonna get killed? ' I thought.

The figure came closer, but the light didn't shine on him, he was still a shadow with intense eyes.

He put his hand on my waist with the other holding my hand.

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms.

I couldn't feel my body, I couldn't breath properly.

The only thing I felt was this strong tingly feeling in my chest.

From my hands to my toes.

We moved in sync, slow like gentle waves, and graceful like a ballerina.

All I could make out of him were his eyes.

When I looked at him from the corner of my eye, I could see him.

Tall, brown hair done up, suit and tie.

He looked hot, but when I looked at him straight he was blurry like a shadowy image.

It made my head hurt.
So I layed my head on his surprisingly warm chest where I could feel his heart.

Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are.

I wanted to ask him, "who are you?"
But my dream self just wanted to lay there comfortably.

I was relaxed and I didn't want to ruin the moment.

But he did, he cuffed my face with his hand, and was leaning towards me.

I closed my eyes, and waited for our lips to crash, but as he was about to close the gap I woke up.

My body felt hot, and I was sweating.
That guy, I couldn't  remember  exactly what I was thinking about, but I knew it was a good dream, because I still felt what I felt in the dream.

I stood there, replaying the scenes in my head. Daydreaming even, until my alarm clock went off that it was time for school.

I cursed, all that time I could've fallen back to sleep.

I walked towards my bathroom and washed my face, after I washed my face I looked at myself in the mirror.
