Why do I feel this way?
Something in your smile seems to melt my pain away.
Could you truly understand my past and help me over come it?
There is something about your eyes.
A hidden emiotion, a hidden thought that only I've been privilaged to see.
I tried to hide in the shadows so no one would pay attention to me.
Yet the shadows attracted you somehow.
Here we are speaking of things that are of little concern.
I've been told it is rare for you to smile.
Yet tonight, you have graced me with several of them.
You hide behind a mask as well.
I noticed by the way you schooled your features when those that have known you longer came by to speak with you.
Curiosity is biting at me but I won't ask.
I dont' want to intrude into your personal life.
Still I can't help but wonder why they fell the need to mock you.
I thought I saw a hint of hurt, of lonliness in your eyes.
They left you with questions, that much I can tell as I look back at you.
I close my eyes and wait for questions that don't fall from your lips.
Surprise shows for just an instant as I look back at you.
I offer you my hand as the music switches to something soft and low.
Your invite to dance shocks me but I accept with a smile.
You lead me to the floor and I feel the stares of all that know you, of all that know of me.
They all stop and stare as we dance.
Shy at first.
As the song plays, they seem to dissapper and only you and I remain.
So many eyes watch us yet not one word is spoken as we dance.
They seem to stunned that a cold hearted bastard should be here dancing with you.
In fact, I am stunned as well.
I never thought I'd start to fall for one so unlike myself.
Why does it seem as if the songs don't last long enough?
Soon the whispers can be heard and I feel their eyes on me.
I start to blush, looking down at my hands.
You seem unfazed by their stares and lead me back to our corner.
Time seems to have flown this evening.
Now it is time for us to go back to our lives.
Back to the way things were before tonight.
I walk you to where your ride is waiting for you.
I feel sort of sad knowing that you and I will most likely never speak again.
I thank you for the dance and start to turn.
I am shocked as you catch my wrist and bring me close to you.
What is wrong with me?
Why do I feel this way?
What spell have you cast?
I ask myself these questions as I lean down and kiss your lips.
Soft, sweet.
Nothing too daring.
I don't want to scare you though I am scaring myself.
I am shocked and I stiffen greatly as your lips meet mine.
Warm, gentle.
I melt into the kiss as a tear slips from my eye.
Do we have to go to the way things were before?
Again I hear their whispers and feel their stares.
Yet this time, I am not embarassed.
I pull back and slip a card into your hand.
I leave quickly to my own ride.
As I enter my vechical, I notice others heading your way.
I frown but then smile as you enter your own quickly.
I make haste entering my car.
They seem curious or mad and I don't want to answer questions.
I take a deep breath as I start my car and leave.
