My Prince Charming

One girl and one
Boy meeting at
A wondrous ball.
She, so beautiful.
He in awe.
What was it that
Drew him to her?
The look in her eyes?
The way she carried herself?

So suddenly and deeply
They feel in love.
How is something like that
Possible?
Love at first sight?
Soul mates?
I think not.
There must be more,
So much more.
To this story.

Every girl day-dreams about
Finding her prince and
Living happily ever after.
Is that what they achieved?

I want to find my prince.
My knight on a white horse.
The one I'm meant to be with.
I, however, am not going to find him
At a ball.
There will be no elegant gowns.
No stately stairs.
No gliding and twirling across the floor.
The night will not end in mystery
With only a shoe.
This leaves too much to chance.
So much room for a miss-step.

When I find my prince I won't need a
Dance floor to glide across.
I will be floating on air.
I won't need a fancy gown to leave
Him in awe.
He'll have eyes only for me no
Matter what I wear.
It will not be guess work.

When I find him,
If I haven't already,
We will have the story
Cinderella missed out on.
We'll have the imperfections,
Inconsistencies, and problems.
We'll have something so real.
I don't want the a fantasy love
Story.
I want true love that, despite flaws,
Really will last forever.

I want my happily ever after and
I'm prepared to wait.
