The whisper of her dress
As she dances
The quiet of his mind
While he watches
The gentle swell of the music
Drifts through the hall
The smile that crosses her lips
As she sees him watching her
The daring in his voice
As he asks her for a dance
The song ends
As they move to dance
The sadness in her smile
As she tells him maybe next time
The disappointment in his eyes
As she walks away
The hall empties
The ball ends
