My heart has been taken
back in time
to a place that existed
before monsters were under my bed
and I knew nothing of anger, loss, and disappointment

A time when beauty wasn't measured with someone else's ruler,
laughter danced
until it was out of breath,
Mr. Webster
hadn't defined my expectations,
and I believed in
happily ever after

My heart has been reminded
that true love never fails
and now
I've returned to the carefree girl
of my youth
dancing on cloud nine
innocently enjoying
the beauty of
unicorns and rainbows,
in the loving embrace
of my forever and a day
