Last Dance

My husband and I always took Friday’s as a date night, but tonight was different. It was our last night together. The music played softly in the back corner where the record player sat. For some reason the music that came out of a record player sounded so rich to me.

Even though tears streamed down my face I couldn’t help but smile when he asked for me to dance. It was my favorite song and he knew that. He took my hand gently and brought me to my feet which were shaking. Suddenly he brought me to his chest and we just danced. All that echoed around the room was our footsteps and the music.

I didn’t want the end to come so we kept replaying the song, but we knew that it would have to come to an end soon. So all I did was tuck my face into his shoulder and cried softly as we swayed. Every breath I took was full of his familiar fragrance and I just wanted to hang onto it forever.

Sweeping me up he brought me to bed because he could tell I was to weak to walk. When he put me down onto the soft bed I could feel myself just sink in. First he kissed me on the forehead and then tucked the blankets all around me. Than I felt a soft kiss on my lips that didn’t last long but I wish it had. Before he got in bed himself he turned on soft music again and it was soothing. All my worries drained away and I just smiled and listened. Finally he crawled into bed and tucked his arm around me. The warmth was so  nice to the touch of my cold shin. Before I knew it I was falling asleep and that’s when everything turned
