On Friday night at Glastonbury after 2 weeks of being apart, me and Tim made sure we were reunited to watch Disclosure play at 9pm. After battling through the 10,000 people who had gridlocked the place we finally found each other.
We watched the set repeatedly looking at each other as the sun set behind us, the sky turned red and the giant LCD screens and coloured cubes by our sides illuminated our faces. We stood hand in hand and without saying much, it became apparent to the both of us how much we had missed one another and just how much we were in love.
The set was incredible. The highlight of my Glasto and little did I know it would soon become one of the most important moments of my life.
Disclosure announced their last song, Latch and me and Tim went ape shit as did the thousands of others around us. We danced together and I sang the lyrics to the song at Tim as the lights flashed and the crowd danced around us. As I sang the lyrics at Tim it became very apparent every word Almost seemed as though it had been written for us at that exact moment in time.
As if in some comedy Dirty Dancing routine. I pulled Tim close as the lyrics suggested ready to fling him back out and spin him around like a knob when the beat dropped. Only at that point it suddenly dawned on me that I didnt really want to let go of him.
The moment changed and went from me and him just dancing like twats, to a moment when everythingh seemed to stop and stand still. I did in fact want to latch on to him, and we were defiantly close enough. It was at that point, as we latched onto each other, I couldnt take my eyes off him. It felt like the perfect time to ask him to stay with me forever. And so I gave him a kiss, made him hold my warm beer and asked him to marry me.
And so I asked him to marry me and he said yes.
I no longer have a boyfriend. I have a fiancé.
He said yes, I cried, everyone around us started to cheer and clap and we suddenly realised what had happened, had actually happened!
It was the perfect.
This is the very performance and the very moment in time that it happened. As the song begins we are just two people in love. By the end of the song we are fiancés and due to be married. I found this video on youtube today and it well and truly pulled on my heart strings.
