He saw her

She saw him

Smiling all the way

Both moved forward

He reached for her

She was shocked

He intertwined their hands

Startling her

Whispered sweet-nothings

She turned misty

He took her to a twirl

Her heart was thundering

From far away

I followed the scene

Felt her heart break

Blending with dark in rain

His wandering mind & eyes

Left her on sidelines

This was her day

but he forgot his date.

Just so you know, there are two girls in the poem. One with whom he was on date & the other he left the one for. Was it subtle enough?
