โI cannot danceโ
โThen I will teach youโ
โBut I will only make a fool of myselfโ
โThen we will be fools together. I do not care for what the world thinks as long as you are with meโ
Being guided through the ballroom to the center of the room. My nerves began to rise; but when they looked at me like that with such love and passion my worries floated away like a mere whisper in the night.
Tonight two ghosts forever in love danced the halls and shared romantic secrets only two lovers would know. For there tragedy will never be known but their love will forever be felt.

You return to the castle as an old woman, years have passed since you first stepped into the ballroom, almost twice a lifetime. You remember everything, the colours, the perfumes, the smiles and laughter that had brighten the marble hall. And you remember her. Young, with lilies decorating her raven hair and silver dress, her piercing black eyes that used to intimidate most of the guests, but not you. Her coldness was fascinating, because from time to time her mask of porcelain would vanish with a simple smile, one dedicated only to you. You will never forget her and you will never forgive yourself for not speaking to her while there was still a glimpse of peace in the kingdom, before the war that brought you east, while she remained in the castle, braver than most. Walls can tell stories, and the rubble around you is full of melancholy, yet still you came, to leave a bouquet of wild lilies in the marble hall, with a foolish hope that her ghost might smile back to you, both still longing for a dance carved in immortality.
EDIT: Ahh thank you all for the kind words, you made my day/s :)

One two three
One two three
Echos through the halls
The sound of our feet still engraved into my mind like a burn mark
Reminding me each day with a sting that you are no longer with me
One two three
One twoโฆ
The song of a nightingale silenced and never to be heard again
The sight of your grace
Now buried under a solemn grave
My beautiful Adelaide
Forgive me
One two three
One..
I pray for the day our maker takes me away
Brings me to a place where we can stay
Where we can waltz the night away
Spend the day
And I can sayโฆ
I love you
One two three
โฆ
At last the day has come
My beautiful daughter
I will join you in the afterlife where we can continue to play
And I can hear your voice say
โLetโs dance dadโ
One two three
I am finally where I want to be
As I hang from this tree
I am free
To be with my beautiful Adelaide

The moonlight shines,
On the old castle's walls,
Two lovers dance,
In the shadows' thrall,
The ghosts whisper,
Their secrets in the night,
The shadows shift,
In the pale moonlight.
Romantic, with its touch of mystery,
This atmosphere feels like history,
As the two lovers dance,
In the dark of the castle,
The secrets of the past,
Echo through the air,
And the moonlit sky,
Brings light to their affair.

I watched her sway to the music in the moonlight, the way she flowed and ebbed like water in the rubble of the castle. The war ended leaving only ruin and murder behind, but all that seemed irrelevant to her. She swayed with the wind and pranced around without a care in the world. How I wanted to hold her, to dance away my sorrows with her. And yet I couldn't, for she lived on only in my memories. I turned my back to what once was the place I first met my true love.

My eyes filled with tears as he led me inside the ballroom. As he turned to me, the starstruck look in his eyes was replaced with concern.
"What's the matter?" he asked, stepping forward.
"I don't deserve this," I whispered. "I've done so much to you, caused you so much pain, I don't deserve something as grand as this." I gestured with my hand to the dress he gifted me, the sparkling chandelier and the beautifully decorated ballroom.
His kind smile turned sad as he gently raised my chin so that I was forced to gaze into the abyss of his eyes.
"The fact that you acknowledge what you've done is of little consequence to me. I see your heart, I have seen it since the moment I first laid eyes on you. You've been hurt, and yet you still continue to treat others with kindness and integrity. Trust me, you deserve the world and more. I am only sorry I can't give that to you in its entirety. But if you'll have me," he grasped my hands in his. "I would like to. Every day for the rest of our lives."
I smiled. The joy in his eyes sparkled like a clear spring when hit with a pillar of sunlight. And right then, I knew what my answer would be.

I couldn't pull my eyes away. The two danced in the dark empty cold ballroom. Alone. It must have been near sunrise because I could see the fingers of gold stretch through the windows and across the polished floor reaching for them. Stretching out for them, as if the very sun itself craved to touch their light. Their clothes did not flutter like those of the lord's and ladies of the court, but were heavy with wear and work. They were absent of any pearls or feathers or anything polished or tailored. Absent of all the things that at any other time would have paraded around this room, demanding attention. And yet as I recalled all the incredible dresses I had seen and grown jealous of, and glittering jewelry adorned across radiant skin... all of them fell short. All that majesty bowed in force to the two silhouettes who dared to dance in the King's hall to music I could not hear in the secret hours of the night. As they turned, I saw flashes of their faces staring at each other, lost in the world that they clung so softly to. Wrinkles lined their starstruck eyes, creases around the corner of their smiles that spoke of thousands passionate kisses, skin sagging with the weight of the stories they held together. I held my breath, frozen in the shadow of one of the great pillars, as one might stand upon suddenly spotting something mythical, something you thought did not exist in your world, and wished to gaze on it long enough to convince you it did. As if the weight of the smallest breath would break the spell and send me to my knees craving to gaze upon it once more. They danced in a dream of their own making, among the ghosts that filled their dance floor. No, I suddenly realized with a weight in my chest. It was I, who had gone to a thousand balls, dancing in this room a thousand times, who had seen this hall filled with music and laughter and the fleeting looks of flirtatious love. I, who had taken the many hands of hope as they guided me to the center of the room, as my heart fluttered in anticipation. It was I who danced with ghosts.

I took her hand in mine, swirling her around, we were young and laughing until we grew weak. She was giggling, but she grew serious as she took my other hand.
"thank you." She whispered as she put her head on my shoulder, and we stood there, our hands still grasped together.
"For what?" I say, startled.
"The memories." She stepped back, her eyes filled with sorrow.
"Please don't leave again. I'll forget you." I wipe tears away with a gloved hand.
"Whenever you hear these songs, remember me." She pulled me into an embrace that felt like it would last lifetimes. But it didn't. And I'll never see her again.
I woke up, putting my face in my hands.
Maybe in another life. I looked up to the ceiling, the old songs we would play softly echoed against the walls.
I still had weeks left, maybe these weeks would come fast, and i could finally rest in peace with her, just like we had all those years ago.
"Thank you." I whispered, finally closing my eyes once more, and when i opened them, there she was, wiping tears away with a handkerchief.
