When she was little, just a kid
– still is -
she promised to marry me
in a castle, with a ballroom,
dancing together in a princess
dress of satin and lace, pale blue,
a Cinderella fantasy in sneakers, dreaming
of fancy balls and happily-ever-after;
... and every day now I wait outside
the castle gate for her to return
into this dream of my own making,
just to see her happily-ever-after again.
