At talagang ang mga kapatid niya humirit pa ng isa pang song. Hindi kami pinaalis sa kung san kami nakatayo. Nagsasayaw pa din naman ang parents niya and sila Julianne. So he just held my hands again and led the dance. I've heard this song once before, parang sa movie? We started to slow dance.

You're in my arms, and all the world is calm.

The music playing on for only two.


His right hand just above my waist and his other hand holding my left hand. He smiled at me. I smiled back. We were just looking in each other's eyes. His eyes were so sure, my eyes questioning why he had that look.


So close, together.

And when I'm with you

So close, to feeling alive.


A life goes by,

Romantic dreams must die.

So I bid my goodbye

And never knew.

So close, was waiting,

Waiting here with you.

And now, forever, I know

All that I wanted

to hold you so close.


He turned me around so he's behind me and leaned me on his chest still dancing.


So close to reaching

That famous happy ending.


He twirled me around again facing him and I lifted my head to look up at him. We were just inches away. His head rested on the sides of mine. He started singing into my ear.


Almost believing

This one's not pretend.

And now you're beside me,

And look how far we've come.

So far we are. So close...


He stopped singing. I looked up at him. My heart wanted to explode. I think I may have seen fireworks.


Oh how could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now?


We're so close to reaching

that famous happy ending,

And almost believing,

this one's not pretend.

Let's go on dreaming

for we know we are...

so close, so close

and still so far...

I felt I was blushing until the end of the song because Zeke and I were just staring into each other's eyes. Napalunok ako. I realized kaming dalawa na lang pala ang nagsasayaw. His parents, Jordan's Mom, his sisters and cousins were just smiling watching us. I was waiting for the floor to swallow me whole. Thank goodness Julianne rescued me.
