~Fairy Land~

And there he stood. My fairy prince.

The beams of sunlight gleamed through the trees exposing the fairy-like-land.

Too bright, too beautiful to focus on my fairy friend.

I closed my eyes and waited for the command.

And then his voice. Strong yet youthful.

Telling me the secrets of Fairy Land, urging me to dream.

His voice guiding me through "what ifs,"

Like a leaf flowing down stream.

And then his smile. It surpassed the sun.

I yearned to earn a smile from him,

And despaired when his thoughts took his smile elsewhere.

Then the sun would dim.

And then he said farewell.

Off to do his duty in Fairy Land.

Leaving me behind.

The magical stone he left me, never leaving my hand.

And here I am. Waking from a dream?

No. A memory from long ago.

A prince I loved,

And never wanted to let go.
