I have lived my whole life
in fantasies and fairytales

hoping
praying

that maybe one day
they will happen to me

That I will one day
write my own love story
one that I can tell my children
and my grandchildren
and they will believe that love exists

And it would start with the phrase
"I just knew"

and
******* it
I KNOW

I felt it
in every pore of my body

as soon as you smiled
and spoke
and starred into my eyes
looking down on me
and it felt like you looked at me
like I was looking at you
and you felt it too

I had never felt that way
about *anyone
