You'll Never Know

Her dress flew by, grazing my pant leg. She made her way through the crowd, almost parting it, as she walked away. She slightly turned back at me and we locked eyes.

His eyes were locked with mine and I knew I had gotten his attention. I turned and continued to where I knew I had to go.

I pushed and struggled through the crowd trying to find her. Then I saw the back of her dress disappear swiftly behind a corner down a lightly lit hallway. I followed her, like a moth to a flame.

I walked to the edge of the balcony and stared into the night. The moon illuminated the dark sky filled with stars above the lovely smelling rose garden. I wrapped my arms around myself as the chill of the wind blew. Then I felt his presence loom from behind me.

She stood there, peacefully, looking out from the edge of the balcony. Then she turned to face me. I've never seen a girl so beautiful. Her mask molded with her face perfectly and she looked phenomenal under the moonlight. I walked towards her, taking off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

I looked up into his clear blue eyes. They were mesmerizing. I couldn't stop staring. But I broke the state and looked down. I blushed lightly.

She looked at the floor and blushed as I smiled at her from my view above her. She looked back up as the wind blew a stand of hair from her gorgeously styled bun up-do.

He took the hair and placed it behind my ear. My breathing hitched for a second as he lightly caressed my cheek for a second longer than I expected. He took a step back and crossed his arms across his chest.

I took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"Now," he paused. "Who are you," his voice said huskily.
