when i was still little,
i was right beside a window,
catching all that beaming rays,
from a giant fire ball that glows,
while my parents watch me grow,
in a vase created years ago;

when i was still young,
i'd receive a shower every afternoon,
thinking of the happy ducks swimming at the lagoon,
hearing the cheerful creatures up in their nest croon,
wishing i'd also be that happy soon;


after all the sunlight,
all the amount of water i needed,
it was as though the vase was a sandbox,
my colors have faded, i am withered.
but wrapped around a tiny bow,
was a glimpse of hope,
the sky has bestowed upon a withered flower in a modern meadow,
replacing the sandbox with healthy soil i've longed for,
making the colorful rainbows i've dreamt of,
the blissful moments i feared to be impossible,
become attainable;
i've never been this hopeful in my life eversince i was born, not until you came.

disney films made me look for my own prince charming;
romantic how's and where's of our meeting,
clouded my little mind, even when i'm dreaming
though each day, chances are sinking

the stars had declined all my wishes upon them
perhaps i'm not destined to have golden emblems
but the heavens have given me a whole gem
not covered with silk and not found in a whimsical castle
waiting to be discovered, living with the gravel
too far from perfection, opposite of a man from a novel

was you.
you're no disney prince charming,
you didn't have the carpet to get me to the right direction,
either the thousand lanterns to guide me home,
the magical kiss to bring my soul back to its own,
for you are hope to fly my own carpet,
light my own lanterns,
kiss my soulless being,
a prince who inspires, and believes i can,
rather than change me because he ought to.


this is not disney,
this is my journey, and about you, supporting me from afar,
the same way as i do.

lock me in your eyes
never set me free
i'll be the person who'll try
to calm the waves of your sea
a sunken boat
that will never flee
