Tonight

I hold on but this is enough, yes you got it right. I'll never forget what you said to me,on that one starry night. We were in computers, and my camera was out right there, the guy who was a clown looked at me and stared. He said you two get together, pointing to my love and me. I'll snap a shot and then he counted one, two, and three. We smiled it was over, but I knew it wasn't right. The clown went over and said dance with her for tonight. He said "Yeah sure." And i thought to myself and said, yeah I might of pulled it, that one tiny thread. I said " No way he said that." The clown said " Yes he did." And I said " What I heard is true, no not a fib." So I went home, got ready, made sure I looked just right. I stepped onto the dance floor, and said "Yes, this is tonight." We looked at each other, and there was that spark, in his bright and beautiful eye, i felt like i was flying way up in to the sky. "Nothing could go wrong," I said, and was sure right to the T. But then everyone started dancing, everyone but me. I said " Ok, everyone needs to warm up." But the hours crawled by like years, and soon I shed not one, but many tiny tears. The night was over, it was done. For then I knew,I couldn't be that one. I went home and cried, but I thought what will it do, but there I lied in sadness and tears. For it was all i knew, and then he texted me and said, "What's up," and my reply was " Not much you?" Didn't talk after that, and I thought "Yes, it was never true." I cried myself to sleep that night, and here I am today, thinking what all I should say. I hope you hear me crying, I hope one night you'll see, what all you said that night, and what you did to me.
