He smiles, a bright blue flame

She grins back, an ocean of pain

He takes a step, dangerous and bright

She fluidly moves closer, and others marvel at the sight

His eyes bore into hers, smoldering and burning

She stares back, calculating and learning

He offers a hand, elegant and refined

She takes it, fluid and ethereal combined

He begins to dance, taunting her with every sway

She follows perfectly, determined to outwit him in her own way

He stops, the smirk gone from his face

As she begins to smile at him, all elegance and grace

He becomes enchanted with every step she takes

She waits and watches as he slowly breaks

I won, she thought, smiling at her victory

He stood, entranced, unaware of this calamity

But, sadly and slowly, they both fell for each other that day

Because after her win, she had decided to stay

And with every step, they blew each other away

And as she and him watched each other, it soon became aware

That they had both lost, but by then they didn't care
