126. At First Sight
She'd fallen in love since she first laid eyes on him
at the train station, with the rush of steam
and voices coming too far and fast for her to hear
And she knew she was small and insignificant,
like just another snowdrop falling from the sky
only to vanish before it ever hit the ground,
hardly the princess from a fairy tale but rather the pauper's child
who'd be seen on the streets and quickly forgotten
But she wanted to become that princess:
someone worthy of being loved by him
instead of just loving.
She wanted to be worthy of falling for him
instead of being just another nameless fan
or a little sister in the shadows.
