💬 Memories from 1989
“Every school dance ended with something like this. Slow-dancing at arm's length in a sweaty gym, both of you pretending you knew what you were doing. Terrifying and perfect.”
— Anonymouson this song →“Power ballad, last dance, the lights down low in the gym. At the time I was certain slow dances were the highest-stakes event in human history. Maybe they were.”
