The Fairytale

By Tina Aswani, Bhavisha Punjabi

What if I told you about a game I play, 

Where I close my eyes and fade away.

Floating above stars, moons and space, 

I find a special place.

In this special place, you will only see, 

You and me. 

It is only love and never fighting here, 

As all is right here. 

The place here is without sadness, 

No cells, no courtrooms, no madness. 

No rules to follow, no laws to break, 

There are no bars to hold us or separate. 

The world is not our oyster; we can kiss and touch each other I don't just say "I love you" - I show it to you

The game inevitably ends, 

As do my eyes, and reality sets in. 

But someday soon – I’m not sure when,

I will close my eyes and play my game again.
