school dance...

a thick concealer covered the dark circles under my eyes the result of a long weekend of rehearsals for the school musical and lack of sleep. i followed my bestfriend through the crowd of familiar faces, allowing myself to be hauled through the masses of teenage boys who smelled as if they bathed in cologne.
as we finally reached our friends, a slow song began.i watch with amusement as my classmates darted frantically through the crowd,seacrhing for someone to dance with,when my gaze met a pair of byutiful eyes...
a boy few inches taller than I approached and asked me to dance.i nodded and put my arms around his neck,studying the faces of my friends as they inspected him. after receiving the thumbs up from my friends, i learned his name was vincent. i noticed he frequently laughed, and when he did, his eyes twinkled.
for the rest of the evening, i danced only with him.somtimes, asking questions. other times, just resting my head on his shoulder, feeling surprisingly comfortable.at the end of the night he thanked me for a fun time and disappeared into the crowd.
the rest of the weekend i wondered about the mysterious stranger. after a week of nonstop rehearsals, i found myself home before dinner on a monday,as i lay sprawled on my bed,attempting to solve a geometric equation, my mom knocked on the door and handed me the phone. i took a deep breath murmered "hello". an unexpectedly deep voice responded. 'hi this is vincent from the dance. your fried gave me your number"
moments later we were talking like old friends. although the conversation was short,i knew it would be first of many.vincent and i spoke on the fone every night.although our skeds made it difficult to see each other.
to make it short, we ended up together.each morning when the rays of sunshine streamed into my room,i opened my eyes to a promise of a new day that would be wonderful because i was loved.even when i felt unappreciated after a long tiring day at school, the thought of his byutiful eyes glowing with earnest compassion and love reminded me that life was wonderful.
almost 8 years had passed since my first dance and i still can remember the twinkle in his eyes..
today, june 17, is his 5th death anniversary..wherever you are, i hope you're happy for me and i'm missing you terribly.

this used to be our song..

When I See You Smile



Somtimes I wonder
How I ever make it through
Through this world wuthout having you
I just wouldn't have a clue
And sometimes it seems
Like this this world's closing on me
And there's no way of breaking free
Then I see you reach out for me, ohhhhh

Sometimes I wanna give up
Wanna give in
Wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
Can make everything alright
Make everything alright

Chorus:

When I see you smile
I can face the world
Ohhh, you know that I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Ohhh, I see shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me

Verse 2:

Baby there's nothing in this world I can ever do
What a touch of your hands can do
It's like nothing I ever knew
Ohhh, and when the rain is fallin
I feel it
Cuz your hear with me
And one look at you baby
Is all I ever need
Is all I ever need, ohhhhhhhhh

Chorus

Sometimes I wanna give up
Wanna give in
Wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
Can make everything alright
Make everything alright
Ohhh, baby
