THE PARTY TOGETHER

Across the room she blends with the crowd
Not one person gives her a second look
But there is something about her, he knows
There’s a sparkle in her eyes that enchants
a smile that will capture his heart
The touch of her hand so tender and soft
A tone in her voice of pure sweetness
Her voice is edged with hurt
There’s a hint of sadness on her face
Her smile is brave and it makes him proud
Her hand shakes with nervousness
Trembles evident in her soft voice
Her eyes give away the fear she feels
Her smile fades and he is drawn near
Her hand grips her glass so tightly
She sees him, her eyes show panic
Her welcome barely to be heard
Her voice rings out happy and light
Her eyes soften and dance again
Her smile has him falling for her
Her hand returning his gentle touch
More than a face in the crowd to him
From across the room he saw her light
It is everything about her, he knows
Love and beauty hidden in shyness
