matthew;
tonight is the ninth grade dance. the one dance that i've been waiting for ever since i was six years old. i've been waiting for nine years to be able to have the chance to go, and dress up, and get all girly, and adorable. i've been waiting for nine years to find someone that i want to dance with all night until i'm swept off my feet. so that i could go home dreaming about how it was the best night of my life, and how i was so happy that i wish i could have froze time while i was dancing in your arms. here it is, that day has come, and you're the only person i could imagine going to this dance with... and it's not going to happen.
you and i won't be dance until the lights turn back on and the music stops. i won't be able to freeze time and just stay in love with that moment forever.

and even though it's going to be so hard for me to see my dream slip past me tonight before my eyes, i'm going to smile instead of cry. i'm going to smile knowing that you're there having a good time, and knowing that you are happy, even though i may not be. because you mean that much to me, and i would rather have you dancing and dreaming, and laughing, instead of myself.
