May I have this dance? He asked
She had never met him before, she wondered
Her hands on his shoulder, his hands on her waist
They twirled and twirled around
You seem to be a lady of interest, he amused
You look vulnerable yet daring
But your smile is enchanting

Why should I tell you my story? She asked
When no one can be in my situation
I have tried to live again
I'm not vulnerable, I'm strong
Fake it until you make it, that's my motto
Smile when angry, think before talking
I've lived all these years with walls like this

It's okay to vent it out sometimes
You never know who wants to hear them
A crying shoulder is not what you need
But someone who takes every step with you
Smiling with you at every achievement
Becoming the sun in the day
Moon in the night for your growth
But all in all, you are a lady of story.
