Fairytales & Love

Come closer,
I will bare my soul
and tell you the truth.
I’m not the sort of girl
who needs her Prince Charming
coz there’s no such thing.

Sorry, I don’t believe in fairytales and what-nots.
They are for the very young
and the naïve.
Yes, they may be intriguing
but they will never be enacted in real life.

Is there such a thing as
a practical realistic love story?
If there is, please sign me up.
No hesitation.

I’m searching for true love
that will last
but I don’t dare to believe
that we will “live happily forever”.

I know, I have to be brave,
give you my share of love
but it takes guts
to prepare myself for the “loved and lost” story.

Maybe it is just too much of trouble.
I’m no risk-taker
when it comes to love.
I don’t wanna hurt again
so just let me be at peace
in blissful “singledom”.
No more risks,
No worries,
Resting in peace.
