You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

Lir Keningar berdiri di lantai dansa dengan satu kaki melebar ke samping, being compose. Saat ost The Greatest Showman itu mulai mengalun. Para tamu pun senyap. Justin, berjalan pelan dari belakang, menghampirinya. Lalu meraih tangan dan memutar tubuhnya, Lir Keningar mengikuti alur. Merentangkan kedua tangan, bertumpuan pada pelukan Justin, dia menengadah gemulai. Keduanya seirama, saling memutari satu sama lain, berpegangan tangan seperti sepasang burung yang anggun menapaki lantai dansa. Dengan kedua tangan mereka yang terlentang, Lir Keningar dan Justin berdansa mengikuti alunan lagu. Menatap satu sama lain, dengan senyuman di bibir. Meski ini pertemuan pertama mereka sejak lulus sekolah, mereka bersikap profesional. Totalitas, dari pada mempermalukan diri di hadapan ratusan orang di pesta.

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be our.

Tonight.

Justin menghempaskannya, Lir Keningar mundur empat langkah. Maju dengan berlari gemulai, Justin meraih dan mengangkat tubuhnya. Menghempaskannya lagi, mundur tiga langkah ke belakang. Lalu maju lagi, berlari dalam pelukan Justin yang mengangkat dan memutar tubuhnya dengan mudah di udara. Lincah, anggun, dan serasi.

Bergandengan tangan dan menari kembali mengikuti ketukan musik. Merentangkan satu sisi gaunnya, Lir Keningar dengan gemulai menyeimbangkan langkah Justin.

You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you

It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours.

Tarian mereka begitu manis, berbanding terbalik dengan lirik lagunya yang demikian putus asa. Berputar-putar seirama dan bergantian, melemparkan senyuman dan tatapan hangat dalam sekian waktu. Lir Keningar tersenyum merekah, saat Justin meraih punggungnya, mengangkat tubuhnya dengan mudah ke udara. Gaun satinnya yang berwarna olive green, menyapu udara. Tarian keduanya diakhiri dengan tangan bertautan, kepala saling menyerong tak ingin melepas pandangan dan langkah-langkah gemulai di atas lantai dansa.
