The Fisher Girl

My first ever composition from 2021.

Backstory:
  A young woman from a royal family, was deeply in love with a man who was in a lower class and her strict parents didn't approve their relationship. But after some time, the man died from sickness. She was devastated and grieving. A month later, her parents arranged a ball event to introduce her to a wealthy young man. The man saw her and immediately fell in love with her and decided that he wanted to propose to her. He asked her for a dance, in which she unwillingly accepted. She couldn't help but tear up while dancing to a waltz with him. She felt empty. 
  Later that night, the young woman went to her room and started crying. There was nothing that she could do. How could she accept a propose from someone that she didn't know and wasn't in love? She only wanted him... After she was done with crying, she sat to her piano. She murmured a melody that went through her mind at that moment. And started writing and playing. She didn't want this life. She only wanted the life that imagined with him.
  She got up and walked to her window ledge. It was the right time to finally go where he was and find him. With tears rolling down her cheeks, she did another step and fell into the void, leaving behind her the "Mourning Waltz".
