Fairy Tale

I know I could never
love you
like you deserve.

 

I wasn’t drawn
to fit in your storybook.

 

Your colors are too vibrant
for my pale hues.

 

But I’ll always remember
our legendary tale
like it was folklore.

 

You are a prince
in need of a princess,
 and I am not royalty.

 

I am a peasant
compared to you.

 

But someday
I hope you get
your happily ever after...

 

even if it’s not with me.
