Wind is blowing in this chilly, busy town.
Your black tux and my white ball gown;
Casual conversations in the crowd, I look around
Les voilà, the crystals of brown.
I watch, your silhouette on the balcony
The sky behind you, dark as a starlit sea.
The air’s warming up like a melody;
So near and yet so far, it’s a dream of beauty.
Your smile, as warm as the light from the chandelier;
My heart, beating like a ship in a storm, couldn’t find a pier.
Shivered by a sudden burst of wind, blasting fierce,
You cover my shoulders with your coat, like my chevalier.
Waving goodbye like a little kid,
Eyes glitter, innocent and sweet like this;
It’s the little things about you that warms my heart, I reminisce
In this enchanting night, we almost kissed.
Even though the chandelier is beautiful and bright
The crystals are cold to touch, reflecting the wintry light.
I feel the indistinct distance between us, a plight
That leaves my heart in blight.
But when the songs play, you did not ask me for a dance.
Standing beside you, blushing, we watch their movements.
The night is sparkling, lingering, yet my wish is of extravagance;
I close my eyes, not to watch it again; not to watch it break, burn, end.
