The lights dim
The music slows
She comes to a stop
Her gown flows

The spotlight turns
The faces change
The girl on the stairs
Looks inhumane

The spotlight settles
Blinding the girl
Leaving her
In a fantasy world

She looks to her date
His smile genuine
He sees his goddess
And smiles with pride

She takes a breath
Floats down the stairs
The mass parts
Holding its stare

She whips around
With skill and grace
But it isn’t him
It’s another face

Her one true love
Holds her there
In his arms
Holding her stare

He leans down
His lips brush hers
Electricity greets
Breathless words

The one she loved
With all her heart
That walked away
Before the start

Is now the one
That holds her hand
And promises
To be her man

‘Til death do they part
The love that was dead
Turned out to be
Alive but suppressed

Now they live
Looking back at that night
Believing strongly
That love is a fight

But true love
Will prevail
Just keep fighting
Don’t choose to fail
