Diary Entry No. 3 : First Dance

 Dear Diary,

    I was sitting beside him staring at the people around the gym, when the lights went out and the music starts to beat. I look at the couple of people slowly crowding the floor to dance. He looked at me and offered his hands asking me for a dance. “I’m not in the mood for it.” I said, but deep inside I was in regret in not accepting his offer to dance. So I silently watched the couples dancing sweetly. While watching everyone, Ely and I talked about some things from the past. The songs that overflowed the gymnasium reminded us of our high school days. I told him how I loved his voice when he sung "wonderful tonight". We even talked about my ex-boyfriend & his past feelings for me.




  Later on, I asked him if we could dance. Yeah, I know I'm silly right? I rejected his offer to dance and made the offer myself. I thought he'll refuse 'cause of the look on his face, but after a few moments of hesitation, he took me to the dance floor.




 We were talking while we were dancing, about how I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, how he met his current girlfriend and everything under the moon. We danced for about 4 songs till we got tired and decided to rest. We sat in a chair near the dance floor, watching everyone dance restlessly. It was dark, we could only see the lights emitted by the disco lights. I felt sleepy and he seemed to notice it, so he took my head and rest it on his shoulders while he wrap his right arms around me. It was normal for us to be that close physically, so I told him that if his girlfriend sees us, the girl will surely get jealous, he said that it's okay because we're just friends and I'm his pair for tonight, but his heart still belongs to his girlfriend. When he told me that, I thought that his girlfriend is really lucky to have such a loyal boyfriend like Ely. But at the same time, I felt something uncertain inside me.




===========================================


 We we’re dancing on our toes

Holding each other

His hands on my waist

My arms wrap around him

We weren’t lovers

But assumption’s hiding

Behind people’s eyes

And it’s funny that we’re dancing

The way we do

 And yet people doesn’t know

We’re only friends

And perhaps they won’t believe that we do

Unless they hear what are conversation is about

While we were dancing

Talking about the person he love most

While I tell him about mine

That was my first dance

Never even thought I’d have one

After that night I’ve realized

That there’s so many things

I still don’t know about him

We’ve been friends for years

And yet it seems like

I have only known him by name...
