Possible
"Will you dance with me, love?"
Amy stared at Ian's outstretched hand, his welcome smile, and his twinkling eyes.
It was without hesitation she replied. "Yes."
She placed her hand in Ian's, and let him lead her to the center of the floor.
He put his hands on her waist, she put her hands on his shoulders, and as the music began, they started to dance.
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did
And she did remember. She remembered the feeling of being hesitant to trust and to love. And after he had betrayed her, it had been past caution - she had been afraid.
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot,
I did
She felt the slight dizziness and a rush of butterflies as she and Ian twirled around together on the dance floor. She felt at peace, regardless to her memories. They weren't important anymore.
And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them
She felt a dull throb in her heart as a particular memory came back to her. It was now buried by so many other memories she was surprised it was still there at all.
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
He had been so…convincing in Korea. And confident. And to her, always stuttering, always afraid to speak or stand up for herself, he had seemed so refreshing. It had been like, even though he was so different from her, he understood her.
And it was still like that.
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible,
Impossible, impossible
Amy felt the reassuring feel of his hands on her waist, and got swallowed in his sweet smile.
And as he swept her off the floor for a few seconds, it was like he swept her worries away from her at the same time.
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
But it's all done, she reminded herself. It's all over.
She felt people's eyes watching her and Ian, an uncomfortable prickling on the back of her neck, but the only pair of eyes that mattered at the moment was the one exactly opposite hers.
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know
In Korea - he had used her, granted, but it wasn't like they had had a real relationship. It had been a whirlwind sort of thing.
The kiss - it was more like a trace of a kiss.
And him saving her - he was saving the coin.
And all his compliments - only meaningless words. At least, she had thought so.
And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them
Could people change so drastically? Or had that person that left her to die never really been him?
Either way, he was different now.
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
From the sincerity with which he laughed right now, the gentleness with which he spun her around, she could tell that he'd changed. She felt safe in his arms. And she loved the way his eyes drew her in.
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible!
Ooh, impossible (yeah yeah)
She had thought it would be impossible for her to fall in love, just as it would have been impossible for anyone to fall in love with her. She had thought it would be impossible to get her heart broken.
Then again, it had healed.
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
So why did she feel a bit like crying? She felt so emotional. After a few seconds, though, she realized the tears weren't necessarily sad ones.
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftop
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
She'd used to like thinking that all they had had was over, but she knew that a part of her still had feelings for him. And finally, she had simply stopped denying it.
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
What was she worrying? She had let go of this so long ago. She had decided to forgive and forget.
Well, perhaps not forget - she still remembered, after all.
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
"Are you alright, Amy?"
Ian's concerned voice broke her out of her thoughts as the music finished and the dancing momentarily stopped.
Amy let all the thoughts she had been having the last few minutes go through her again. And then she smiled.
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine." And it was true.
Ian seemed relieved. "It is our wedding night. And we just had our first dance. I wouldn't want something troubling you."
"How can something be troubling me with a husband like you? I was just thinking of some old memories, memories I won't be thinking of again. I'm making room for new, better ones."
And she allowed her new husband to pull her close to him, and putting her head on his shoulder, they started dancing again.
Most people would say that a couple like theirs would be impossible. Unlikely, perhaps, but never impossible.
