He doesn't think about you
Before he falls asleep, and
You do not play the starring role
In his dreams. You are dreaming
Of his lips; his eyes; his laugh –
Really, you have only
Seen them through a screen, or
For mere seconds in reality.
He will not notice you,
He will not think about you,
Or love you –
In anywhere but your head.
You are being childish;
You must grow up.
This is not a fairy tale, Cinderella,
You will not go to the ball.
He is Prince Charming, after all.
