One of the most beautiful things I've ever
witnessed my two friends Stefanie and Justin
(who are married), dancing together at a
rave to a techno version of "So Happy Together".

The three of us had been quite upset as the
keys to our car had been lost in the grass
at some point in the night. We were hours away
from home, with no other avenues but to wait
until daybreak to search for the keys.

After fifteen minutes of being horribly
distraught, we decided that we would enjoy the
rest of our time at the event and not think about
how the hell we were going to find a set of
carkeys in a VERY large field.

That song came on and they immediately got up
and danced, right in front of the blanket I was
lying on. The love which they felt for one
another, despite all the bullshit they had gone
through in the course of their relationship,
was so apparent on their faces. It shone brightly.
It dazzled my eyes.

I sat up on the blanket, lit my hundredth
cigarette of the night, and drank it in. I wanted
to be one of them. It didn't matter which. Just
as long as I was part of that certain of a union.
That I had someone who loved me with such
dedication and strength. Who knew all of my faults
and loved me regardless. I needed it and my hands
began to shake at the idea of such a powerful
emotion.

"I can't see me loving nobody
but you for all my life."

I was also on a powerful hit of E at the time,
so you'll have to excuse my maudlin colouring
of the scene.
