Dancing With Half A Heart
Dancing With Half A Heart
Piper closed her eyes
momentarily, feeling the music infiltrate her soul and her limbs move
involuntarily with the beat.Tender
fingers trailed up her arms and cupped her cheeks, his thumbs gently tracing
her jaw line.She tilted her head to
the side and rested it against his chest, letting the beat of his heart steal
her breath away.
His open
palms rested on her back, drawing small circular motions as he kissed the top
of her head.Piper opened her eyes,
staring through the crowd of couples, each intent on each other and oblivious
to the world around them.Her breath
caught in her throat and she fought the urge to tense her body.
There he was.
He was just standing there,
watching her body move in synchrony with her lover.
Her lover.His rival
Their eyes met in an
instant, their eyes locking and staring into each other's souls.
Into her soul…And into
her heart
Gradually, they'd fallen in
love.The small friendly smiles became
soft touches and the soft touches become passionate kisses.But still she danced.
With half a heart
She loved Leo, not the man
she had long ago confessed her adoration for.She had to let him go, she had to be with Leo.Her vision cleared and he was gone, disappeared from her sight in
a split second.Her eyes darted around
the room, her body still swaying with the music, guided by his touch.She exhaled as her eyes fell on Leo not
having known she'd even held her breath.
With all that I have, I'll be yours
Leo stopped and stood directly
behind him, staring into Piper's eyes; waiting patiently for her love.
"Piper?What is it?You've stopped dancing."He
pulled away and looked at Piper, following her stare to be met with Leo."Piper?"
"I'm sorry.We can't keep doing this."She responded after a few seconds of
silence, barely drawing her eyes way from Leo."We knew this was going to happen."For months their relationship had been lifeless, Leo's shadow
constantly darkening their union.
True love shall prevail
He stepped back, finally
defeated, slipping into the crowds and disappearing.
And they will dance
Not a single sound was
uttered nor needed.A passionate kiss,
a melting of the bodies and they became one.
