Title: Peter tells me...
Author: JMBarrie
a/n Told from Wendy's point of view after the Fairy Dance scene in the movie (2003)
He tells me I'm a glistening mermaid
with iridescent scales
and pearls in my hair.
He tells me I'm a shimmering fae
with long golden hair
and moondust on my cheeks.
He tell me I'm an Indian girl
with sleek and lithe movement
and courage beneath my skin.
Yet when I ask if he loves me
he turns around fast
away from my grasp
and the illusion is over.
"Love." He whispers.
"I have never heard of it."
The very words are the twist
of knife in my heart.
I feel love for him.
But he does not know this.
