I walked into the room with confidence. This was my moment, my last moment. After this she'd be gone from my reach like a beautiful bird flying away, coming back often enough to not forget. Teasing me like a mockingjay. It tortured me. It was a sweet torture for I get to see her one moment more, one moment longer.

I stand in the middle of the room, for the first time I seemed to be the center of attention. Well technically anyways.

I spin around looking for the girl I loved, the one I fell in love with her personality. The girl I knew nothing about and everything about. The girl that knew me better than myself. The girl that was me in every way. The perfect example of me as a girl. I wanted to take her pain... but she also wanted to take mine.

I'm selfish when it came to pain, so was she. We didn't anyone experiencing pain... so both of us took everyone's pain. But when it came to us... I was the selfish one. She gave me her pain because I promised I would give her mine. I didn't.

I spun around one more time and my chest relaxed. She was here, she came. Wearing a gorgeous sky blue dress that made it seem she was floating above the floor. Effortlessly moving around. It made me smile "one last time, one last moment"

I begin walking to her smiling moving through the dancing crowd, my eyes focus on her. She was different from everybody else. I could tell from even afar she had no makeup on; everybody seemed to have an artificial glow caused by makeup, not her. Everything about her was so true, natural, and genuine from her words to her glow not a single thing false.

As I approach her sheturns around and sees me. She waves and walks over to me her blue dress swayingwith her legs. Her sweet innocent smile brightening the dimly lit room. Mythroat tightens and my hands start to shake involuntarily cold? No. Anxiety?Maybe. Fear? Yes. Fear of what? Love. Love who? Her. She spreads her armsand embraces me looking up at me with a smile that could outshine the brighteststars in the universe. Ican smell her as she rests her head under my chin. Her sweat beading off herforehead and transferring to my suit. I didn't mind, both of us had gotten usedto being touched by the sweat of each other. I brushed her hair through myfingers as she looks up at me and chuckles her smile bitter sweet to me, itmakes me smile seeing her happy. She releases the hug and stands up straightand looks at me innocently and waves goodbye. I wave back as my mind wanders "not yet, I don't want to yet. Please don'tleave" my mind runs these thoughts but my lips keep shut. She walks awayfrom me and gets close to another guy. She reaches up and wraps her arms aroundhis neck and kisses him on the lips. I smile at the sight to hide my pain as Ialways do. "She will never love me, but I will always love her. A." I turn around and look at my watch "One more hour to see her... I don't want it anymore." I shake my head in disappointment of myself and walk towards the exit. She fixed me. She mended me. She held me together. But she also left me.
