So She Dances - Josh Groban
Beautiful.
What he saw was the very definition of pure beauty.
There she was, moving like an elf, gracefully, gently, dreamily, like she'd never done anything else. She was in her own world, lost to everything around her - the people, the noise, the hectic, the chaos. It was just her. Her in a crowded room, and yet, as he was watching her, he saw only her, and nothing else. She, who described the music with her feet, her body, that delicate figure of hers; whose dark curls surrounding her face revealed her lovely features only for seconds now and then, allowing only a brief glance that left him wanting more, so much more.
She was held under the melody's spell, and he - he was under her spell.
So she dances / In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is / From afar calling me silently
His eyes searched her desperately whenever she vanished within the crowd, and lit up when she came back into sight; he was at the mercy of her beauty, feeling empty when he couldn't see her, adore her with his eyes. She had a glow about her the light in the room couldn't possibly have competed with; it let her stand out from the crowd and had every single person aware of her moving among them.
Every step she took, every swirl she made, every elegant swing of hand or arm she added, every content smile that appeared on her lips - he couldn't look away, not even for the blink of an eye.
How had he missed it all the time? How didn't he see what was right in front of him? She had been there, all those years, close to him, with him, always at his side. And yet had he never seen her. She had been his friend, his confidant, the person he relied most on, trusted the most, trusted with his life. And now she was the one robbing him of his sanity, as he suddenly saw her with different eyes. One evening, and everything changed.
I can't keep on watching forever / I give up this view just to tell her
He didn't realize he had moved until he found himself in the middle of the crowded dance floor, in the middle of countless people, in the middle of a bee stock of dancing shapes. And until she was falling into his arms. He captured her and held her close, feeling the heat and vibration of her body against his, moving with her to the music, while his eyes were caught by hers; orbs of an enchanting blue-green color watching him from under long, dark lashes with a look that made his heart beat faster.
The crowd parted, gave them room as they floated across the floor, holding onto each other, bodies touching, eyes locked, hands entwined. Now that he was with her, he got lost in that secret world of hers, the one that characterized her movements, guided her feet; the one that made him pull her only closer, afraid to ever lose her, that feeling of her again.
No, this would never end; never would they part again. He wouldn't let it happen.
We've got the floor / And you're in my arms / How could I ask for more?
They didn't care when the song slowly ended; the melody still in their memory, they continued swaying softly among the stilling crowd, their minds far away, but still together, on a journey showing them what they had in a different, in a new light...
