Just Another Masquerade

He sits alone awaiting his partner
He searches and searches, but can't find her

Alas! She is found sitting alone
Looking for a partner of her own

As he stares into her eyes
He can see the sparkly stars of the sky

They begin to dance around and around
And a sudden unknown happiness is found

When he touches her skin
He expresses and emotion from within

Their masks hide their true identities
And their lives are still mysteries

As the night begins to end
They feel a connection more than friends

But alas! They'll never see each other again
Because the dance has come to an end

Sadly this has always been the way...
Because it's always just another masquerade...
