My Happy Ending
Once upon a time
There was a fanciful fellow
With the fey he liked to play
Truth is, he himself was fey
He was quite a waggish sort
Playful and mischievous
But ultimately harmless
Ever so curious about the world too
He kept the truth about himself
Hidden from nearly everyone
Until he took his quizzical mind to college
Where it wasn't just books that gave him knowledge
Being a quaint sort of chap
He was sort of easy to take advantage of
Especially when he fell in love
For many years he allowed himself to be abused
He may well have continued to abide
The occasional slap or shove
But he could no longer tolerate the cheating
Or the words that cut him to the quick
He thought that twenty-one years
Was probably all that anyone was given to find love
And he'd thrown it down the drain
But he didn't want another of the same
Five years went by, and our fey fellow
Was quite used to being single
But then his sister invited him to a Halloween party
She said, just come and mingle
Being a fairly sociable sort, he accepted the invite
At least he knew there'd be beer and snacks
Then his sister introduced him to a fellow
With a smile so sweet our fey friend forgot his own name
Once our man regained his composure
He and his sister's chum began to chat
Several hours later, they'd not run out of things to say
So they made a date for the following Saturday
Everything was so perfect
Our poor fey guy was terrified
He remembered his former lover's lies
He was afraid to fall in love again
But this new man was patient and kind
He gave the worried fellow plenty of time
Plus kind encouragement and little tokens of affection
Things could only continue in a certain direction
Seven weeks after their first meeting, the wonderful gent
Asked our fey fellow if he wanted to take the next step
Oh, how he did, but he was so afraid
What if he was a disappointment?
He didn't want to lose this good thing he'd found
As the sun broke on the horizon
The fey fellow rolled over
And looked into the beautiful blue eyes and smiling face
Of a sweet angel, who kissed him and professed his love
They moved in together five months later
Six years later they officially married
This year they celebrate their seventh anniversary
That sweet fellow's name is Dylan
He is the one that our fey chap--whose name is Adam--loves for all eternity
~Adam~
Notes:
Sorry, I can't see my monitor. My eyes are leaking.
Maybe it's not the best poem ever. But it's straight from the heart. I found the love that I thought only happened to other people. I love him more each day we're together.
I'm resisting the temptation to do any heavy editing on this. I want it to be real and raw, not polished or perfectified. Is that even a word?
