the song remains the same
and she'll dance alone again tonight
he'll never be there
he never was
she fooled herself
believing that he really cared
how could he?
how could anyone?
the music plays into the night
carried softly by the wind
lost in the embrace of the moment
she thinks of him
always of him
the song skips a beat
and in the music's silence
the real world crashes in
he doesn't love her
why can't he just love her as she loves him?
is it really so impossible?
the record begins again
maybe there's still a chance, she thinks
she goes back to her moonlit waltz
living in the fantasy
always dancing around the truth
and the song remains the same

I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to...

You carried the mood throughout very well.
I could almost hear it playing in the
background...as she lies on her bed,
wondering, ever wondering.
