this girl sat on her bed,
dreaming about love,
and everything it can
and cannot be.

this girl lived in a place,
where love was at arms reach,
and when she would wonder what love is,
or if fairytales were at all possible,
all she had to do was turn around, and there it was
real, existing, right beside her
and then she would be happy.

this girl believe that love exists,
she sees the kisses,
the hugs,
and the incandescent laughter,
this girl believed in a happily ever after,
and that once she finds her prince,
she would be the one with her happily ever after

this girl sat on her bed,
thinking about love,
love is all around her,
but just not in her.
this girl discovered the one and only thing that love cannot be
and that is right now.

but this girl believes that when love comes to her,
everything would be a surprise,
a forever,
if not something just right

and then,
everything would be absolutely perfect.
