I have the castle, but where's the knight?
Clothed in white, he was supposed to save me
and sweep me off my feet!
Did his GPS lead him awry
or did he get attacked by an undercover spy?
Oh haste, my love! Haste, my knight in bright white!
I have waited too many fortknights for you.
My love!*
Save me from the tyranny of days
and the stalkers in the night
for only you know the ways
to defeat the demons in my sight.
I am safe and secure.
Bound by God's love,
I am sure
that you and I will last
until we both have passed.
In a traumatizing hail storm,
stand out on the street corner
waiting for me to arrive.

In the operating room,
suffer with me as our
first child is brought
into this world.

In essence,
stand by my side.
You don't need to say anything.

*Just be there.
I live a thousand miles away
from where I am right now.
The world is on my brain and
I can't get it off.
Somewhere in this world
I find my one true love.
I am searching, grasping at
every attempt
to find him.

I wander for love.
I wonder for love.
I'd do anything in my power
for love.
And in that peculiar way,
you have made my entire day.
Like a big slice of chocolate cake,
I would love a cultured gentleman
with a delightful accent.
My dear,
prince charming is a broad term
for a gentleman who truly
respects me for who I am,
what I do, and how I look.

He must tolerate my quirks
and
most importantly,
our demons must be compatible
so they silence each other.

If you did ride horse,
I would be impressed but
I'm more concerned about
character than some fantasy.
I guess some people aren't
my cup of tea.
We could never have deep
conversations or inside jokes.
You know I like inside jokes.

We would never see anything
but ourselves, lonely and afraid
of hurting the other person.
I can't be afraid of you.

We would never have that spark.
There would always be a
grand pause where the fortissimo
should have been.

I guess some people aren't
my cup of tea.
I'm also glad that those people
stay that way.
Strip me bare
of all impurities.

Find me there
in your embrace.

(Don't haste
to attach me to your waist.)

Glance again at me
for I will look back joyfully

I see your chest rise and fall
and I know you'll be there for me
*through it all.
And if I happen to land in your arms
after I fall for your quirks and charms
I thank you first for doing me no harms.

But if you drop me, I must confess
I will love you a tiny bit less.
And if you drop me on a bed,
I might be entirely and mildly mislead
to do things before I don't think with my head.

— The End —
