You promised me that one day my prince would come
White horse
Shiny armor
Steadfast heart

You promised me that he would wake me with a kiss
Breath halted
Arms trembling
Lips tender

You promised me that there would be a happy ever after
Hands held
Lives entwined
Hopes fulfilled

And now you're trying to tell me that it was just a story
Princes are dreams
Kisses mean nothing
And happily ever after is just a fairly tale

But you promised
And dammit I want my happy ending
And I'm not opening my eyes
until I get it!

So put that in your fable




"I'll tell you how the sun rose
A ribbon at a time..." - Emily Dickinson

You go girl!  LOL
But you might want to open your eyes.

There could be a few potholes along the road.

Enjoyed the read.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Can see the girl stubbornly stamping her feet ... and she is right. Whoever affirms that kisses mean nothing should be stopped from preaching!

Good one.
