• Fairy tales rarely tell
    The truth to be exact
    But ours is real and yes I feel
    It tells a tale of facts
    T'was a game but not the same
    And ours was rare indeed
    Couldn't hide what was inside
    Feelings of mutual need
    Through the days we would play
    The images of inner self
    You and me we would be
    well....We'd just be ourselves
    The more with you my interest grew
    In you I saw the same
    That I see within my dreams
    It became more than a game
    Hours spent with your consent
    We would talk all through the night
    Even though I went shadow
    My heart it felt your light
    Later turned holy even if only
    For you it was I would stay
    Both were healing both were feeling
    Love in a new kind of way
    Step by step heart to heart
    We slowly healed the wounds
    Less we slept the more we kept
    Wishing to say "I love you"
    I said it first and feared for the worst
    But I believed in you
    Patience led to hearing instead
    The words "I love you too"
    Here we are now happy somehow
    Even with all previous pain
    Washed away a little each day
    And left not even a stain
    Who'd have thought with what we sought
    It'd come to us so naturally
    Love at first sight on that night
    Pictures of you and me
    Fairytales rarely tell
    But once upon a time
    Me and you found love so true
    Eternalized within this rhyme
