Alone

I walked across the crowded room,
As if nothing were there in my way.
Feeling stronger than I'd ever felt,
And hoping it would stay this way.

A loner among love's biggest fools,
I somehow felt misplaced.
But then I felt your hand touch mine,
And my heart began to race.

Were you the one that I'd been searching for?
The one who would leave me lost in time?
The whole reason I'd been hiding,
In my protective skin ; confined.

We sat and talked for hours,
And I was sure you were the one.
The boy who will destroy me,
The day you decide that we are done.

We went back into the main room,
And danced the night away.
Swaying side from side,
As you embraced me from behind.
And I was drifting into harm's way,
So I decided not to stay..

As I made my way through distorted figures,
Pushing and shoving to get free,
You spun me around quickly,
And I stared into your eyes so deep.

As I secretly questioned your cruelty,
Wondering if I were even right.
Could someone who seems as kind as you,
Leave me with no strength to even fight?

You placed your palms upon my hips,
As you pulled me closer to your chest.
I was obliged to know you felt this way,
Yet afraid of ending up like the rest.

The lights went dim around us,
And the bodies disappeared.
And I'm secretly wondering if there's anything
More amazing than being here.

As your lips gently joined mine,
Leaving no space in between,
I simply jerked away and whispered,
"Tastes like an excuse for pain to me."

You replied, "Love in the making.",
And I thought "Then my heart breaking."
But I smiled and let you continue,
Knowing it was the last time we'd ever speak...
