Fairytale Romance

I dreamt of fairytales
Ever since I was young
But as I grew up in this world
Reality stung
And then you came along
To sweep me off my feet
And suddenly
Fairytales became reality

Just like in the classics
I was poisoned with a past
And yet with just a gentle kiss
You taught me how to trust
You killed them one by one
The bad apples that I took
And now look!
My skin may not be white as snow
But the happiness with you
Gave me quite a glow!

I may not be in rags
Nor have evil stepmothers
I tried in vain to get glass slippers
So I splurged instead on Mac
Romance was too surreal
I aimed instead for materials
But you showed me how to feel
A love that’s pure and true
Now I know that romance can be real
Just as long as I have you

I guess I could be quite a beast
Yet you stayed throughout the ride
On my emotional rollercoaster
Of sarcasm and snide
You’ve emerged the true beauty
In our fairytale land
And I guess I’m just lucky
You chose to take my hand

Now I close my fairytale storybooks
With a smile on my chubby face
I’d never imagined that eventually I would
Find my prince, in this harsh and cruel place
And I bet that even if I made a wish
To famous fairy godmother
She could never in her power
Give me someone as perfect as you
