Hitting Reality

by Samantha - Scorpio

I've always been the dreamer
The one with her head up in the clouds
In the middle of Latin class
Doodling their names across endless textbooks of The Iliad and The Odyssey
The dreams were always the same...
Full of prince charmings 
And happy endings
And me... being swept off of my feet and onto my own secret happy ending

I often wish he would come one day
Show up at my door with just a single
--Just one--
No more, no less
Red long stemmed rose
And sweep me up into his warm, gentle arms
And whisper into my ear, the words that I forever longed to hear
As he promised and swore
He'd never leave
Stay forever faithful
And end up
Not like all the rest

Then again, a dream is just a dream
And that's just a fairytale.
