and you wore this dress

A niaganistic idea:

After decades, an old couple re-enters the place where they once had their first engagement. He was wearing his best suit then and as a lucky charm the cufflinks his father gave him, which he wore when he met his mother. It was Saturday and the live band played as usual, as he stood nervously on the edge of the dance hall and sipped his drink. His thoughts turned to what he would tell her and if she would come at all. Again and again he played through all the situations and reactions.
Then she suddenly stood in front of him and everything he had planned for was no longer available. He just stared at her with glassy eyes and half-open mouth.
She looked as if painted from his dreams. This wore a strapless ball gown which seemed to merge with her perfect body. She had an elegant updo, her most beautiful earrings on the light in the light again and again began to sparkle. She beamed at him with her sweetest smile and her fawn eyes looked deep into his.
Without a word, he took her by the hand and gently pulled her onto the dance flooring and they began to dance intently …..

….. softly he hums the tune of that time and takes it gently by the hand. Today, the place of her first engagement is decaying and her skin is wrinkled. But her eyes are still shining like they were then and the memory of how she looked in this dress is as fresh as if it had only been yesterday.
