We did not learn to walk without falling

We did not know how to ask for food without crying

We were taught that there is no gain without pain

So when we seek our significant other

We believe that if there is no hardship why bother?

Love is passion, love is anger, love is difficult

The more intense the adversity the more our heart swells

For surely the ache we feel means our primary organ is under a magic spell

This wide misconception that we are experiencing a happy bewitching

But we cease to see how it’s strongly intoxicating

Yes it’s exciting, but while lost in the thrill

The yells of self love become more shrill

Love is pain, love is giving part of yourself away, love is playing a lost game

But then I met him…

No overwhelming ego in sight, no pretensions of being my savior, my knight

Just a sweet all encompassing love

So pure so sweet, a dove

No jealousy is needed

He believes me so great and expects nothing less than for it to be heeded

But I know the truth of the matter is the trust

He knows believing in me is not optional it’s a must

I once said he completes me

He told me to avoid those delusions, that I’m more than I can see

Because I’m not a half that he supplements, I’m a full

And his favorite past time of accentuating all my glory would be null

So lets walk through life, you in your sandals, me in my trendy shoes

Be my favorite partner in crime

Let’s keep rewriting what comes after “Once upon a time”

Because you killed Prince Charming and I’m happily finding

Love is compromise, love is patience, love is happiness, love is a bright sun

Thank you for killing Prince Charming, Matt Eggleton
