On the stage, Alicia could see nothing but him. She could hear nothing but his voice singing those beautiful words and his guitar's melodious plucking sounds.
The world had faded away and ceased to exist as she watched him sing to her. Listening to that voice that was now touching her very soul, reaching the deepest chambers of her heart, sparing nothing, she was effortlessly intoxicated by this spell that was his song.
She had never expected this. She knew she would have loved his voice even if he ended up being bad at it. But this man just had to open his lips and with that, he had her completely and helplessly floored. And the bad thing is, that was just his voice!

He dropped his gaze and looked at his fingers that were dancing on the guitar's strings. Beads of sweat were now covering his forehead. His raven black hair hanging over his forehead in an attractive mess.
Then he lifted his eyes and met hers again. Seeing the quiet tears streaming down her cheeks. And realizing that she did not know she was even crying. Crying for him. Crying because of him.
"Here I am, singing this song for you in front of everyone"
A flash of a smile tugged at his lips as he sang that line. But that smile was fleeting because all too soon, deep lines appeared between his brows when he sang these last lines.
