She is beautiful. She has long dark hair and eyes that hold her very soul. She appears to be of Asian descent, but this only seems to make her into a truly exotic creature. When she smiles, the sky seems clearer and the sun shines brighter.
He looks up the staircase and stares in awe. Never before has he been so captivated by a single person. Not even his first love, a kind and honorable soul, held his gaze in such a way. He steps forward and proffers his arm, his hand shaking just slightly.
She smiles at this display of chivalry and snakes her hand through the crook of his elbow. He leads her across the room to the wood-paneled dance floor. A single beam of moonlight shines through the window and illuminates them in an ethereal glow.
They take up their stances, her hands resting just below his shoulders as his hands come carefully about her waist, and begin to sway to the rhythm of "Besame Mucho".
All eyes turn to them. Young women stare longingly at the two lovers, while the older couples take the time to admire the timeless beauty of young love.
The two lovers are completely oblivious to everything else. They have eyes only for each other. She moves her hands up his arms and around his shoulders, laying her head against the firm, steady rhythm of his heart. He closes his eyes and breathes in her sweet honeysuckle scent.
They are completely entwined in each others' arms, their heartbeats coming together to become one. It is almost impossible to tell where one person begins and the other ends.
Everyone who looks at them sees just a man and a woman dancing together. There is nothing special about them, nothing to separate them from the rest of the world. But upon looking beneath the surface to what lies deeper, there is something extraordinary to behold.
For many years, this man and woman have been separated by a distance of years, lifetimes even. Numerous obstacles have kept them apart. Her innocence and passion in searching for the truth, his darkness and steadfast courage on a quest for redemption. The sun and the moon, forever circling around each other but never coming together.
And yet, despite everything standing between them, they cannot stay apart.
A force greater than destiny or fate is constantly pulling them towards each other, fanning the embers until a passionate flame burns within their breasts. Their love has stood the test of time, proving again and again that it will never be quenched. For theirs is a love so strong and pure that, no matter what may come their way, if they are together, they will overcome everything and emerge triumphant. A ray of sunlight to serve as a beacon of hope against the darkness.
