You
were the girl in the aqua tee and hot pink skinny jeans at Subterranean
on Saturday night. You probably know who this is. At least I hope you
do. We watched each other shake it for a good half hour, then you left
the floor and I went to get a drink. Later on, we found each other
again, out under the lights, amid the sea of gyrating bodies, the scents
of sweat and alcohol drawing us together. You smiled, held my gaze for a
few seconds. That was all I needed. We danced silently; no shouted
introductions or stilted small talk. That song. God, it’s been on a loop
in my head for the past forty eight hours. What the hell was
that song? Whatever it was, it transported us to another plane of
existence. I was gone, lost, utterly consumed by you. How long did it
last? It could have been five minutes or an hour. All I know is I was
absent from reality. You were all I knew, all I cared about; watching
you, your lithe body releasing itself to that song. That song! I’ve
never been so free of my own consciousness, so unencumbered by
self-awareness. It was all you. The kiss. I’ve never wanted anything
more in my life; it was pure, naked desire. And it was the best. By far.
I won’t soon forget it. Perhaps we’ll find each other, through some
miracle of fate. Perhaps you don’t feel the same. Totally OK. But if you
happen to read this, and you know that song...please, clue me in. That
loop in my head won’t play forever.
