I hope you're enjoying this. *bows*

a lonesome walk brings

me back

to the ballroom

across from me

faces i know

a lady with

sensitive eyes

the one i knew first

a gentleman

trustworthy, piercing gaze

you've been with me always

the two of you

did you know

this would happen?

a gentle smile

a curt nod

i wish you'd warned me

but

i wouldn't give this up

for anything

now

instead of

letting the pricking tears

have their way

this time

i'll straighten my shoulders

i will waste away the hours

doing hopeless things

and then

wait for sleep

as i do every night

images burning

in my tired eyes

just under the lids

That's the end of the first night!
