He stands on the stage.
She sits with the crowd.
He speaks while they listen.
The attention is all on him.

He speaks before them all.
The emotion in his eyes.
And his voice sounds like
A thousand singing doves.

A smile that shines
Over the blinding lights.
Her admiration climbs
To new heights.

She looks at him,
Hearts in her eyes.
She looks at him,
As if her world will fall apart
If she looks away even once.

She listens to his voice;
To every single word.
She pays attention to nothing else.
He's put her in a trance.

Everything else feels nonexistent.
The noises were put to silent.
To her, there's only him.
Him, and him alone.
