Author's note: The words in bold belong to the lyrics of "Falling out of love" by Aretha Franklin.

The rest is a Silly Silly idea of fusing poetry (without a stanza format) and lyrics.


Cyan eyes look away from the strong frame dominating the centre of the stage.

Mismatched eyes catch that retreating strong back that belongs to the only man he loves.

The king knows that something is not right and wonders if, before it is too late, he can find out.

It's in the way you say my name,

though I hear your voice,

it's not the same and

in your eyes,

I can't help but see

a much different light

than there used to be

The young king keeps thinking what has made his lover behave like this and he can no longer understand who is wrong or what he did.

You say hello and I want to die
'cause deep down I know

that it means goodbye.
I can't let go, I just keep hanging on
though you're standing there,

you're as good as gone.

The king realizes that his lover is getting away, he is still here, even in his bed, however, he feels like he is alone, anyway.

Are you falling out of love?
Have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, is there someone new

that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?

Alexander has all those questions stuck in his mouth, he wants to know but he does not dare to ask. What will happen if his lover confirms his suspicion? What will he do after that?

He keeps on thinking and wondering while his heart breaks apart.

Your funny smile was all it took
And you said it all with just a look
Now I sit here and you sit there
We just talk and talk but we get nowhere
All we do is talk and get nowhere

Warm and strong fingers snake behind the long neck and soft and tempting lips leave a kiss on the brunette's.

A loud sigh escapes his lips and a "silly Phai" accompanies it.

The brunette has confessed that he was stepping aside because the blond king a bride has to find.

.

"So you are not falling out of love?" the king states and releases a long sigh.

"How could I do that? If I did, I'd be out of mind"

"Do you still love me, my Phai?" Alexander asks.

"All the way up and beyond the sky"
