the poem.
"Surely you must've known, it was all for you." -Pride and Prejudice
Where are you drowning, my dear?
Because I'm drowning in you.
You and only you.
I don't even want to save myself!
Will you ever
forget me?
Oh dear, it seems like I'm sinking back into my minimalistic ways. These words called out to me tonight.
Why do you desert me thus?
I am not born to any of this absence!
Let me love and cherish you.
Absence is hard to cope with, especially when it is your true love.
We are the only ones in the room.*
Your eyes seep into me like honey dripping from a beehive.
We pass by each other and your fiery gaze draws me *closer.

I take in a sharp breath, forgetting the commotion around us.
Nobody else is in the ballroom.
Just us until the music stops.
This poem is from the scene when Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth dance for the first time during the Bingsley ball in the movie Pride and Prejudice. This poem is from Elizabeth's perspective, full of internal passion and love. Everybody wants a love like Elizabeth's and Mr. Darcy's. <3
