She was drowned by the song played in the background by Whiskey Gift Set, twirling around in her seat. Her friend had gone off for a smoke in the balcony with the other people, leaving her to brood on her own.
He was having a conversation with the friend, sharing the smoke and singing along with the band. He came around to her and …
**********************************************************
He: Is everything alright with you?
She: Yeah, i am. Thanx.
He: Are you sure? You look sad… Ive spotted it after the first set the band played and it seemed to be getting worst. I don’t like to see people being sad..
She: Well, i’m a little pissed but I’ll be fine.
He: ohhh…i see… why don’t you try imagining the guy that you are crazy about standing in front of you right now and singing that song for you…?
She: (laughs) … It’s not gonna help right now.
He: (gasps) ah! I see… So it’s about him you’re getting upset. What’s wrong?
She: Nah… I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about it. And thank you.
He: well, alright… But do smile. When someone sees your smile, it’ll make them happy.

He gave her a pat on the back, smiled and walked away.
The band finished their last song and gathered for a breather.
He borrowed the lead singer’s guitar and got the friend to call her in.
The band, the friend, a few random people and she gathered around him…
**********************************************************
He: I’m gonna dedicate this song to her (points) because her smile reminds me of my girlfriend, from afar…
She: (shocked).. ah.. ok..

And he sings, with the band in the chorus backup…
We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see
I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

At the end of the song, she was speechless and there was tears welled up in her eyes. She paused and gave him a hug. At that point of time, it made her feel better and definately made her think that she doesn’t need to put up with the shits that ridiculous people give her. Screw it with all the philosophical talks about "appreciate what you have" when you dont even show that you appreciate it at all. Bull-talks!… It is not even worth it to get worked up about it. She doesn’t need this shit in her life. If someone ain’t able to see her worth and what she does, then someone else’s will and definately deserves it.
