holding out for love

You are my Godsend,

That I have been forever dreaming of,

My angel from above….

Heaven knows,

I’m head over heals and it shows.

I’ve played every field I suppose,

But there’s something about you

when your around,

baby I have found….

I get lost in you.

What is this feeling,

I’ve never known before,

that i should dare too,

swearing to surrender ever more,

that’s what I came here for….

Heaven knows,

I head over heals and it shows.

I’ve played every field I suppose,

but there’s something about you

when your around

baby I have found,

I get lost in the wonderful days, lost in your wonderful ways……..

Heaven knows……..when your around baby I have found I get lost

Heaven knows I’m head over heals and it shows,

I’ve played every field I suppose,

but there’s something about you when your around,

baby, I… have… found——I get lost…. in…YOU!……………………..

(Song by: Chris Gaines)

Tina glanced over at Bette and a look of nostalgia was exchanged between them. A lump caught in Tina’s throat as she watched other couples make their way to the dance floor. Her mind raced for a moment and then she stood up and reached out to Bette. With a soft spoken voice she said, ” Do you remember the first time?”

Bette took Tina’s hand and she led her to the dance floor. Their arms instinctively remembered their places as their bodies pulled close to one another.

Their eyes met briefly and Bette leaned in close to Tina’s ear and whispered, “How could I ever forget.” The sweet aroma of Tina’s wild berry shampoo and a hint of baby lotion, filled Bette with a familiar sense of belonging, as she thought of the many times that she longed to again share moments like this with Tina. Holding her close felt so right, so natural, as their bodies fit together perfectly, like hand in glove.

They moved to the music as they both felt a sense of comfort in being in each others arms again. They were silent for the rest of the song and as the last few notes of the music played, Tina stepped back and took both of Bette’s hands in hers. She looked into Bette’s face and saw eyes that were filled with love, eyes that had been etched into the memories of the years they’ve been together.
