Ever after is all I really hope for with you
For I am not naive enough to believe in happily
Since I have seen too many fairy tales
Ruined by there sequels
So the most that I wish is you -
Beside me when the wolf is at the door,
There with kisses to awaken me
From my deepest spell or a long night's sleep
Even if the bed was strangely lumpy,
To lend an arm when my pretty but impractical shoes
Are killing my feet long before the midnight curfew,
Smiling as you conquer my curls on a bad hair day,
Following the your trail home, back to me
And that will be storybook enough.
