"Love is not an illusion, love illuminates the blind..."

(Dani)

Almost done. Almost there.

"It's time Dani" My manager handed me the microphone as I suited up for my last show on tour and probably my biggest show on this tour since Santana was supposed to be here to see me perform.

"You'll be great Dani everyone you love is out there okay, put your all into it" Elliot smiled at me before hugging me tightly "Good Luck out there"

I took a deep breath as I saw the lights go down signaling it was my cue to go on stage. Once I was in the middle of the stage the lights turned on around the arena and the fans screaming got louder. The beat of the music started and that's when I started getting into the music, I felt ecstatic being on stage singing in front of all of my fans.

I saw Santana through the crowd of fans standing enjoying the music with everyone, I also saw Jamie who jumped around to the music. I felt bad for her and everything she went through after her break up with Megan, I still talk to Megan occasionally. She was just as heartbroken about the break up as Jamie was. But I'm happy she's moved on, I can't say the same thing about Megan, she's been a mess, she dropped out of UCLA just a couple of weeks after the break up. That saddened me. I just hope they can work everything out and get back together although I know that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

I looked at the side stage and Elliot was there giving me a thumbs up. After I finished one of my last songs I grabbed my acoustic guitar set on stage and put it around my shoulder

"Tonight is a special night not only because it's my last show on tour, but because someone very important to me is here and without her I couldn't have gotten this far. She is honestly the light to my life and without that light I am nothing without it" I looked at Santana who had a big smile plastered on her face "This song is for you" I started strumming my guitar connecting my eyes with Santana's

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?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me-I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

I looked at my hands making sure I was playing the right strings before finding those brown eyes I've growned to love since high school

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
