In one of the sweetest Valentine's Day videos you have ever seen, a special education teacher from Stillwater, Oklahoma captured what true love is really all about.

Maureen Lawson teaches at Westwood Elementary School. She received a new student this year named Sophie. While Lawson was at first worried that the 10-year-old might have challenges relating to the other kids in the classroom, it soon became apparent that her fears were for nothing, according to Inside Edition.

It did not take long for Sophie to become friends with an 8-year-old boy named Graham. The pair was clearly two peas in a pod. Both children have Down Syndrome and became fast friends, choosing to spend all of their free time at school together.

Because of this blossoming friendship, Lawson said that she was not surprised to see the two dancing together during the class Valentine's Day celebration. Despite there not being any music, the two friends felt moved to just celebrate the day together. 

"I turned around and they were just slow dancing and there was no music,” Lawson said to Inside Edition. “I had never seen them dance before. They were just doing something sweet and fun. They are just best friends.”

Lawson knew that this moment needed to be preserved and so she rushed to get her phone so that she could record the sweet dance.
