A fairytale

By Arundhati Pandit

Tell me, in a story

The way I'm suppose to feel

Starting with a Once Upon A Time

Ending with a truth that's real

I wanted you to be my knight

I wanted a friend much more

So you come walking into my life.

And you let me rest assure

We shared the laughs I've always wanted

And dreamt of for so long

You were the empty melody

That was missing from my song

I didn't want to accept it

The fact that I was moving on

Because every time I did that

Something would always go wrong

It seemed so real yet faulty

My dreams. I felt. would soon die

And eventually I'd realize

That again. I'd have to cry

Sometimes it was confusing

I couldn't read your mind

I hoped that there was something obvious

That I could somehow find

But you, you are so difficult

Somewhat the same as

And I can't find myself to give up

No matter how hard I try

You don't know how much

I want to hate you

And it hurts me that I won't

I try so hard to get rid of you

But in the end...I just don't

For now you have concluded

That I am just your friend

But this does not cease my fairy tale

We have yet to say."The End".
