Love At First Write A Not So Grimm Fairy Tale, At All Hello out there “Just Looking” I hope everything is fine? I thought that I would say hello, I saw you come online I see that you just registered. This all must be so new? I noticed that because I joined this evening just like you I’ve never talked to anybody on the internet But I figured it was time to get my two feet wet Something told me I should call you, I’m not quite sure why Maybe it was meant to be, my name is “So Am I” I’m glad to meet you “So Am I” I also wish you well It’s clear you are a gentleman, that’s so easy to tell I thought that I could try to find someone with whom to share The loneliness of living in a world with such despair My name is really Cindy and I’m sorry that I’m sad It’s just that my dear Step Mother, can’t help but treat me bad For reasons that I’ll never know she sees me as a threat As well as her two daughters who are always so upset I’ve never tried to hurt no one in any kind of way I guess that’s just how things must be and how they’ll always stay The thing that’s got me really sad and feeling kind of low Is that there is a ball tonight and I don’t get to go I’ve never owned a pretty dress like my two sisters have And even when I try one on they look at me and laugh I just have no more left to give and don’t know what to do I guess I’m looking for someone who feels the same way too So thanks for listening “So Am I” but maybe I should go? I didn’t mean to be a burden with my tale of woe I hope that you can find someone who treats you really fair Thanks for trying to cheer me up, so long and please take care Cindy wait a minute please, I know just how you feel! I’ve also got some problems that I’d like to now reveal I too, have never got to go to any kind of dance! So many times I’ve wanted to, but never took a chance I’ve lived my life so cautiously afraid to open up Everything I did was measured by a half filled cup I’ve always done what others said would be the wisest choice But deep inside I always felt I had this inner voice It told me not to always follow things that others say It said that if I really wanted, I could find my way It said that when the roads gets rough to try and stick it out It said that helping others is what life is all about My name is really Princeton and like you I’m often sad I’ve also wondered why I couldn’t, feel things others had But one thing I learned early, is that if you have a plan Don’t let the things you cannot do prevent the things you can So please don’t leave now Cindy, stay and give me one more chance There’s nothing that can stop us from, going to our first dance I want for you to get dressed up, with all your finest clothes And meet me there at ten past nine, this I to you propose Oh Princeton! That’s so very kind, but I’ve nothing to wear! I haven’t got the means of travel or the funds to spare! My step mom locked me in my room because my sisters said That I didn’t scrub the floors too good and didn’t make their beds Princeton please just go ahead and have a pleasant time You are young and life is short, I’ll have to stay behind There’s absolutely nothing in this world that we can do I wish my fairy god mother would help get me to you Dear Cindy you must surely have some pumpkins on the vine I’m sure you have some glitter that could make your slippers shine The gourd shall be your chariot pulled gently by six mice The shoes will softly sparkle like crushed diamonds trapped in ice We’ll dance the night away like it belongs to only us We’ll hold each other in such ways that make the others blush I’ll gaze into your eyes until your heart begins to melt I’ll kiss you with a passion that your body’s never felt I’ll lift you in my arms as we both spin into the night Your hair so soft and flowing as I hold you very tight Your soft and charming loveliness makes all the women sigh The sparkle in your eyes makes all the angels want to cry I’m falling for you Princeton, so much more then just a friend! I wish this night could always last and never have to end! But Princeton I must leave you now, the time is drawing near I think that it is for the best, that I just disappear This night I’ll always cherish and keep close upon my heart I’m sorry I can’t finish something that we tried to start I just want you to know that you have touched me very deep And leaving now will only make my heart forever weep I wish this lovely fairytale would somehow just come true I wish that I was Cinderella and the Prince was you But most of all I really wish that someday there would be Someone who would want to live their life with only me Someone who could always make the future seem so bright Someone who could make me feel the way you did tonight Someone who would want to share their love with all that’s mine Someone who would always love me till the end of time Dear Cindy can you feel me as I hold you in my heart? I felt that we were meant to be together from the start I really want to know you better each and every day My heart is screaming not to let you ever get away! Dear Princeton I just can’t believe you really want me too! I really want to hold you and make all of this come true! I don’t know what I did that brought you close into my heart I only know I also loved you from the very start! Dear Cindy I am coming now no matter what you say! Oh come to me sweet Princeton so our hearts can fly away! We’re going to live a life so filled with passion and romance! We’re going to live a fairy tale, the night of our first dance...
