Happily Ever After
I have taken to playing games...
You know the
one...
Where I walk into a crowded room
And pretend the person
With their
back to me
is someone that I love...
I pause in the door
And
pretend:
They will turn slowly and smile
And the smile
Will be
yours.
You know the one...
Where you put your arms around me
And kiss
the top of my head.
Everyone smiles
and envies the moment.
You know the
one...
Where it's alright that you are with me.
No one is shocked
or
repulsed
or disgusted.
You know the one...
Where our relationship
Is
not inappropriate.
And our only commitment is
to each other.
You know
the one...
It begins with
"Once upon a time..."
And ends
with
"Happily ever after".
