The music began as she took one single step onto the glassy floor. Her pale white skin seemed to shine in her pale red dress; her small feet inside a tiny glass shoe. She felt like Cinderella walking into the ball for the first time. But this was no ordinary dance. Everyone had a mask on, but her. As she walked through the crystal room she noticed how everyone was looking at her. Was it because she wore no mask? Or was it because she wore a different kind of a mask? She tried to not notice them; she continued to walk along the dance floor.

Turning a corner she sees him. He too wears no mask. He's skin is a tan color; he's hair a dark dark brown with deep crystal blue eyes. She looked so plain compared to him. Wearing his black old fashion suit he walks over to her. Not a word is spoken between them as he puts out his hand. She takes he's hand and they began to spin. Her long blonde hair wrapped around her with each turn. He held her hands so gentle and he stepped so perfectly she could swear they were flying.

He looked into her eyes making her feel like she could stay there forever. 'Don't let me go…' she thought as he dipped her. The thought of never leaving him was pure ecstasy. They didn't notice that the crowd had disappeared from the ballroom and it was just the two of them. Dancing.

The last song began to play and they drew closer to each other.

There's such a sad love

Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel

Open and closed within your eyes

I'll place the sky within your eyes

He sang softly into her ear. Clouds surrounded them. The ballroom disappeared and they were dancing on air.

There's such a fooled heart

Beating so fast in search of new dreams

A love that will last within your heart

I'll place the moon within your heart

All the light in the clouded room seemed to be just focused on them. Behind him she could see the moon shinning. They were so close to the stars.

I'll paint you mornings of gold

I'll spin you Valentine evenings

Though we're strangers till now

We're choosing the path between the stars

I'll leave my love between the stars

The feeling on his gentle touch began to leave her body. They were separating. 'No. Wait! You can't leave me like this. Not again…' She closed her eyes.

As the pain sweeps through

Makes no sense for you

Every thrill has gone

Wasn't too much fun at all

But I'll be there for you

As the world falls down

When she opened her eyes she was back in her room. The light of the new day was glowing in her room. He had come and left like every other night. She looked at her tired soul in the mirror. Her hair was ratted and her eyes so hollow. How they laughed at her in the dream. She opened the door to get ready for the day. With her mask in tact and her memory of him spinning in her head, she walked out of her room.

But I'll be there for you

As the world falls down
