you dance with strangers, gifting them your smile
a treasure i called mine—if only for a while
you laugh at perils when your life's at stake
you live the dream while i'm not quite awake
you wear your finest silks, the world is your stage
new faces every day—befitting of the age
your beauty changes hands of those who hardly care
i'm left to rue the loss, i find it hard to bear
you're dancing with a stranger—wish it was me instead
moved on so fast, you have—it's messing with my head
don't think i'm getting back that part of me i've lost
you dance with strangers—i'm dancing with your ghost
