Fairy Tale Ending

Over three years ago now,

I met someone I thought was perfect

I constantly dreamed of him,

Worshiped him

And eventually, not too long ago

I finally got up the courage

To tell him how I feel

So I wrote him a letter, and sent it

But I haven't heard back from him.

It's just helped me realize:

There's never a fairy tale ending.



Two years ago, I met another boy

One that I saw as special

We share the same interests

And, more often than now,

Share thought processes too

We're kindred spirits, really

And so I've held out hope

That something might come of it

But this year, I've had to watch him

As he courted another girl.

I still maintain some hope,

But this just serves as a reminder:

There's never a fairy tale ending.



And now, just recently

There's somebody new

He was totally unexpected

But he seems to care for me

Care more deeply than anyone I've met

He's the first that's been willing

To simply hold me

But I don't know yet

If I can care as much as he does

Partly because I"m simply baffled

And partly because I remember:

There's never a fairy tale ending.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I grew up on fairy tales and happily-ever-afters, I just wish I could have one of my own.

I know the feeling. I also had been in love a couple of times and it only brought me pain.
