Locked away

There they stood, gazing at each other passionately. The moment they were in, couldn't be felt by anyone else, couldn't be in right words. A gaze so unbreakable, a hold invisibly impenetrable. A gown, a tux, and waltz in the starry sky. A moment so heavenly.

A place packed with strangers, and yet the feeling of being on their own. Just the two of them. The two of them, and the icing floor, felt soft underneath their feet. A roar of applaud, a sweet and beautiful song. Everyone's eyes alighted with joy, theirs with sadness, for having few moments with each other. A reassuring smile on his face, a tear of love rolling down her cheek.

Laughter and humor filling the air around. Their senses shut to everything, but stood reading the eyes.

Groom at the alter, bride walking down the aisle, melody filling in. Locked by each other's gaze, they said their vows without parting their lips. No bestman, no bridesmaid. Just the two of them.
Two souls intertwined, when their bodies stood still, eyes not moving.

Much awaited dance of the married couple, and here they stood, smiling, happily unmarried. Holding hands, lost in the moment. Last song, last see off, last dance, last kiss. Time never stopping. Last moment with each other before being parted from the icing of the cake.

A last chance. A last hold. A last gaze. A last second to remember for a thousand years. One last breath.


His last smile, her last tear.
And separation of hands.
