My Love

For all those fairytales,

They read to me all those years.

Not once do I recall,

Hearing the Princess left in tears.

The Knight in Shining Armour,

Always came to save the day.

And a thousand times or more,

They said it would happen to me one day.

Well, much like those stories once written,

I’ve had my share of kissing “toads”.

Never ending in true happiness,

And traveling down, far too many dead-end roads.

So, just when I got settled,

Within the comfort of being alone

My Knight came walking in,

A certain someone, which I had known.

Never did I think,

Beyond my wildest dreams

Our paths would come to cross,

For I had believed, my chance was lost.

And all those magic butterflies,

Those for so long, have been asleep.

Finally began to spread their wings,

How I had forgotten, the feeling, to be so sweet.

So whatever comes what may?

I guess the lesson to be learned,

If you don’t give up on love,

Sometimes, you may get another turn.

And I know I’ll always be

Forever grateful to have been given

The love I’ve always longed for

And the happiness in life for which I now live in.
