Once Upon a Fairy Tale…

Folder: 
relations

How long will you love me?
How long will you dare?
To date the girl you say you love?

How much time do I own,
To enjoy what we have?
How much longer can you love me?

How many years, days, or minutes do I have left?
Will your promise stay true?
How long can this dream continue?

I’m living in this dream,
For I’m sure nothing this good,
Happens in real life.

Take my hand and tell me,
Beauty may fade, but our love will not.
But how long can we lie to ourselves?

Tell me while you can.
Tell me and let it be true,
The end that I see isn’t real.

But I know as much as I may lie to myself, I can see through that.
I know that the end I see,
As real as you or me.

So take this as my love,
For written word may fade,
But there is a chance, it might last forever.

Let me know,
Let me show,
The love I can give you now.

Before we are lost,
Before I miss this chance,
Let me tell you, before you go.

How long can you love me?
How long can you dare?
To date the girl you say you love?
Before you say goodbye?

I wrote this a few days, ironically, before the person broke up with me to go out with their ex. XP

If your mirror doesn't find you one of the most beautiful people it has ever seen, punch it and find a better mirror.

Nicely done.

Really pretty writing, it made me smile. When you DO meet the person of your dreams, you won't have to wonder, at least I hope so. :)

All Basis Touched

The story is intact and reality based (a few cliches) but essentially yours. Cliches are phrases commonly used by us to accelerate speaking, a collective abbreviation of phrases i.e, alls well that ends well, fly off the cuff, finders keepers, I love you so much, tell me truly, hold me close, fast as a whip, now and forever, you broke my heart, tears falling like rain...the idea in verse is to find a unique way of saying the common things everyone thinks but do not have the words for. That's a small part of it...Lady A

I wrote in those over-used

I wrote in those over-used cliches for a reason. Proof that this was just another young girl trying to convince herself that what she has will stay forever. Every girls dream, that what she loves will never leave. And another reason was saying, in a round-about way, that even I know that I don't know that it wasn't true love.

I understand exactly what you mean, though. I wrote this..... two years ago... I think.

Love,
LovingLovelace
