My prom date and I are still together. It has been almost 3 years since my Junior Prom. I laughed so loud when I saw these pictures because my prom date and I looked so young, then I caught myself shedding a tear. Memories before me brought me into nostalgia.
I can still remember every detail of that night: what I was feeling, the things we said to each other and the way he looked at me. I felt like I was floating when we were slow dancing, as if I was weightless and not even gravity even gravity can pull me down. At first, I felt incredibly nervous because it was my first time to dance with a guy then as he held me closer, I felt at ease. Moments spent with him made me feel butterflies in my tummy. He was definitely the sweetest prom date ever. He gave me his coat when I was cold. He even asked me to step on his shoes when my feet were already sore because of my heels.
I am so proud that I’m still with my prom date. (Hopefully, I’ll be with him for the rest of my life.) Someday, when my future kids ask me who my prom date was, I would tell them that my prom date is the man on the other side of the room.
