there are no such things
as happily ever afters.
At least, not the ones
from fairytales.
There are no princesses,
no princes, and no, not even
a knight in shining armor.
I didn’t believe it.
Not for a second.
It was the eyes I think.
I got lost in them or maybe
it was the fact that I was naive.
I paced back and forth wondering.
What had gone wrong?
I thought I knew you but
now I’m not so sure.
I told you I loved you
and that I was sorry.
You responded with silence
that cut me to the core.
You said goodbye.
There was no happily ever after.
