one curtain after another

My heart slowed.
"Its alright now, i thought."
I found her, like always, she's with the guys.
I'd have been with the girls, but you cant have many at one go.
At times you've gotto give up much for a single gem, yeah...

My heart fell.
"That's him."
I found him, i knew he'd be around.
"Do you have a polaroid camera?" he asked my buddy.

His voice! How do i find words for it?
It was strong, powerful,friendly, warm. His words were simple.
My heart stopped when i noticed how her actions changed around him.
Before me, stood a millenial appointment, individuals truly made for one another.
A divine edict, an inseparable match from heaven.

I was overwhelmed by hopelessness.
My heart then, became like stone, before them, i was like a fool.
My camera almost fell out of my hand.

Yes, so she is one year older.
But age gap never seemed more solid a wall then that night.
I was speechless. My will went dry, my hopes were lost.
As we got into the car, buddy's mum asked.

"So, did he turn up?"
"yeah, he was sitting beside me!" her voice resonated behind a curtain of exhileration and embarrassment.
I kept my gaze straight, i knew i musn't see with my own eyes, the joy on her face.
"Did he say you were pretty?"
"yeah, he did." her voice now toneless as her eyes were preoccupied on her handphone, she sends a message to i-know-who.

I could jolly well guess how his "you look gorgeous tonight" swept her away.

and i didnt even need to wait till ihear of his expensive birthday bundle yesterday.
"Come on now, its great to be single", you'd say.
