If this were a fairytale
you'd be here by now
I'd be wearing crocan
You'd be wearing polished armor

This is real life
I'm wearing coquelicot
You're wearing an invisible cloak

If this were a fairytale
You'd hold out your hand
I'd take it

This is real life
I'm walking alone
And I'm okay with that

The author's comments:
I wrote this because I feel like most teen girls around me are obsessed with finding a perfect love and they let it rule their lives. While I would love for that to happen to me, I'm okay being alone and I'm not going to let anything get in the way of just being happy
