All I ever wanted was everything:
the white knight, the big castle, the candy-coated kingdom,
the splendid gesture riding in on the great white horse.
And then he came...militantly chivalrous,
full of romance & honey-covered words
sweeping me off my feet with the force
of his pertinacious declarations of love.
Entranced, I surrendered as much to the visions in my head
as to the dark knight who came for me...
