Whispers in darkness,
A shadow unveiled,
My heart surrendered,
Seems like a fairy tale,
The young maiden whisked away,
Off to her forever after,
I wonder what's the catch?
Why is it now that love is just handed
To me in a gilded box?
I fear to trust,
I fear to hold you,
Maybe you're an illusion,
A hallucination,
Ready to shatter like smoke,
And mirrors,
All just props,
A show to make you feel good,
Still, I will stay,
Not for bravery,
Or for belief,
But curiosity,
I do not believe in love,
But I believe in like,
I'll not write about how you are the morning,
Putting an end to my dreary night,
I will say this though,
You are something special,
And though I have no idea
What on earth you see in me,
I will always remember you,
Even if this ends in a day,
I will remember you,
When my bones are brittle,
And my hair is gray.
I will remember.
