Saddest Ever After
It was
a once upon a time
for us,
I was close---
so close to believing
that a fairytale
was born the moment our eyes met.
That our story
would begin if I held your gaze---a little longer.
But I had to look away
for in your eyes
I was a stranger.
And that--
was our realest
yet
saddest ever after.
