The story of us

starts right now, here in Paris

When I first met you

you were a brilliant pianist

Playing in the night

softly for just one to hear

yet it feels alright

Met you for the second time

somewhere on the road

it was raining heavily

Without a brolly

you saw me running in the rain

feeling cold and wet

You stopped your car beside me

saved me from the rain

and you drove me home that day

Made me wonder struck

left me thinking at the bay

about how we met

Saved a damsel in distress

meeting you countless times

This time you asked a question

on that tranquil night

I thought you would never ask

it happened that night

If I would be your only

I smiled and said yes

Today was a fairytale

I had found my prince

And you have found your princess

Days, months, years had passed

When one day you dropped one knee

and took out a ring

asking if I'll marry you

I laughed and said yes

The prince had finally asked

after all these years

and the princess accepted

him and both of us

lived happily ever after

Thinking of the days

fate has a sense of humour

Paired up two strangers

became a pair of lovers

Remember you said:

you will never let me go

Its our love story

will continue in Paris

Remember that night

you played a love song softly

Just for one to hear

and that was made just for me

I'll never forget

for its written by a man

by my loving prince

About the poem:

The idea came from the song "Today was a fairytale" by Taylor Swift. This poem was planned to be a 'story' with a happy ending just like the stereotypical fairytale. Paris was selected as the location as it is a place of romance. Behind this was days of word searching, looking for the right words to fit the poem perfectly.
