They came into our class
Asking if we were coming to the dance
I raised my hand up into the air
To show I was gonna be there
After mine was raised, you raised yours too
A small gesture that made my heart flutter
I couldn't wait for the dance
Knowing you would be there
For maybe, just maybe
I could dance with you
I straightened my hair
Put a little lip-gloss on
Hoping you would notice
How pretty I'm trying to be
I step into the darkness of the gym
And look around me
I see you wave me over
I try to hold back a grin
The music starts
A blazing noise all around us
We then begin to sway, to jump
To move to the rhythm
As I'm moving
I notice you staring
Are you staring at me?
Or at another girl?
No, I catch your eye with mine
You quickly turn away, hoping I didn't notice
The songs turn slow
Here is my moment of truth
Everyone else found a partner
Except for us
I feel like we're the only two there
That nothing can change the way I feel
We slowly move together
I blush scarlett red
I put my arms around your neck
I feel yours wrap around my waist
I can't breath
The room is spinning
Then you look in my eyes
And smile
We start to move back and forth
With not a care in the world
I could stay like this forever
Being in your arms feels so right
We say nothing
So I rest my cheek against your shoulder
I feel you pull me closer
My heart beats in my throat
We stay like that till the end of the song
And you hold me a few seconds longer
'We're just friends' I tell myself
I'm sure you're saying the same thing
But that second longer
Will last a lifetime
I now know for sure
That you will never leave my head again
My whole life changed
After that one dance
