Yeah.
Mine was Stairway to Heaven.
No kidding. Awkward longest slow dance song in the entire universe that ends up rocking? Yeah, no kidding that was my first slow dance.
I was a late bloomer, very late… hardly shy but EXTREMELY insecure when it came to, came to…boys. (Eegads!) For most of my middle school years I hid from the boys during slow songs so I wouldn’t have to feel sad when no one asked. Better to avoid…
DEAR GODÂ I HAD THIS AVOIDANCE BEHAVIOR PERSONALITY SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCES WITH BOYS?
Yep.
Old habits die…never.
ANYHOW in HIGH SCHOOL (dance in the cafeteria) when a nice boy (who was a friend) asked me to dance, um, a slow dance. Um…sure, right?
But for the fact it was STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.
6 minutes in I knew it was a memory that would last a lifetime.
And here I am. Listening to Led Zeppelin psyching myself up for the concert with the BPO this Friday and all I can think of is that awkward slow dance.
Betcha can’t guess who the boy was?
In fact, I wonder if HE even knows he was my first slow dance. (He might now after seeing this post.)
