About the Item
The grand ballroom was ablaze with sparkling casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the dance floor. The orchestra's enchanting melody wafted through the air, enticing couples to sway to the rhythm. It was a night to remember, filled with laughter, music, and magic.
My eyes met hers. She stood poised at the edge of the room, her white gown shimmering in the light. Our gazes locked, and the world around me melted away. The music, the laughter, the glittering lights – everything faded into the background as I stood there, lost in her eyes.
Without a word, she glided onto the dance floor, and I took her hand. We waltzed across the room, our steps in perfect harmony. The music swelled, and our bodies moved as one, lost in the rhythm and the magic of the night. It was as if we had known each other forever.
But as the clock struck midnight, she slowed, her smile faltering. Her eyes, once bright and sparkling, grew distant, and her grip on my hand loosened. But then it wasn't going to be perfect if I didn't tell her how I feel, so I headed towards the Usher who had drinks in his tray, "champagne for two, please".
But when I returned, she was gone, leaving me stunned and bewildered. I searched for her everywhere, scouring the ballroom, the gardens, and the halls. But she was gone, leaving behind only the faint scent of her perfume and the haunting memory of our midnight waltz. I was left to ponder the mystery of her disappearance, wondering if she had been just a mirage.
She was gone indeed and it's been months but the thoughts of a perfect night that ended abruptly are still present in my memory like it was yesterday, her lively and dreamy eyes, her ever welcoming smile still in my memory, not even the strongest of wines could knock off those memories, while I reminisce I ask my myself "why did she leave without saying, without telling me where it all went wrongly, guess that's a scar I'll have in my heart till whenever.
