The ballroom is illuminated with lights As it bounces around the walls and floor Couples arm in arm slow dancing Looking deep into the eyes of those they adore. There I am alone in the corner Watching as the dance goes on Wondering I will ever find those twinkling eyes to look upon Holding the one who makes my heart feel warmer. As time goes on I continue to observe All the happiness and the smiles of the crowd I stop to shake my head as my thoughts are too loud Beginning to wonder if there is someone out there, I deserve. Suddenly the music slows down Whispers and turning heads surround me Lights ascend the stairs like a Christmas tree Atop the stairs there she stands The queen of the night, and she doesn’t need a crown. I look over almost choking back the tears Holding back the smile that would fill my whole face Waiting for the day we can hold each other in embrace Where love takes over, everything else disappears. The sound of the camera shutters in my mind Storing this image of you away On the very day you throw your bouquet Looking back at our eventful lives That’s where I would go if I could stop time.

Why were you sad? All this time, when you could have been glad, For the life you live now and the friends you now have, Instead you almost threw it all away and lost what you had. Hid from the world and kept your thoughts locked away, So, they were all you had, whilst your friends went astray, Your thoughts became your friends, growing stronger every day, But you became more and more lonely, and here we are today. So, want some advice, try to be more open, Instead of using silence and hiding as your weapon, Put them down, it’s your faith and trust you must sharpen, No longer will those thoughts be a burden.

I have thought about you since day one, The way we talked and connect was fun. When you laughed, I would treasure the times, Like the graceful sounds of wind chimes. Sitting, walking, talking, or texting, To be around you I would do anything. Sharing things even my diary didn’t know, Thoughts of Happiness, anger, even sorrow. As time went on our friendship progressed, Yet looking at you made me feel stressed. Sitting, walking, talking or texting, When I was around you, I wished you were missing. Because unlike the sound of wind chimes, My heart would pound a beat I couldn’t define. Why did I feel this way, was I angry or sad? But to be around you no more made me feel very glad. All this made me question our friendship, Thought maybe I could save it, but it slipped through my fingertips. I can no longer bare us together in one room, For it was me who ruined our connection with the love, I have for you.
