Whichever way you go, I'll be easy to find

I wait a while to realize
Seasons change when days go by
But you, nothing changes you

"You see, people are trying
To find their way back home
So I'll find....my way....to you"
- Blue Sky Collapse

The unwritten ever-after


This story didn't begin with "once upon a time",
It all started from "The End"
And here it goes

Never thought that someone would whisper quietly, "that's her" when he saw me from the distance
But someone did. 
That kind of someone who saw the real you, without makeup or anything - told you that you were pretty when you looked like a mess - someone who finally accepted your flaws
Someone who is known as a gentleman to many, but in front of you, he was just a silly man - with silly jokes and all. With his old t-shirt on and a long conversation late at night about dreams - your dreams and ambitions, and of course.... about life. 
Someone who actually stayed up late just to talk to you
Someone who knew your insecurities, who knew the way you talk and laugh, the way you slept near his arms, the way your eyes would shine when you told him your favorite fairytale

Someone who actually made you believe in fairytale again. 

Past the midnight, he showed up and he saw the real you
With one shoe in his hands
One shoe as a proof your love was in a rush
He offered that glass shoe, 
That kind of happy ending every little girl could have ever dreamed of
But the shoes didn't fit
It didn't feel right
Facing that ugly truth
The truth that perfect prince is not perfectly made for you

And all good things come to an end.
You both know it's not going to work out
No matter how perfect it was. No matter how perfect it is. 
With no happy ending. What kind of love ends happily?
But it's an ending, for sure. 
Closing that  chapter, and keep another chapters untold
But I let some stories alive
To remind me, sometimes
Sometimes love knocks at your door, 
But sometimes love does happen at unexpected places and time
With unexpected person. 
Sometimes when people grow, they grow apart
Sometimes people are meant to fall in love together but not to be together

To remind me, even if I have to close this chapter, even if it ends really bad, 
there's still a new page
A blank new page to start. 

And maybe, just maybe
Maybe happy endings are overrated
Maybe your perfect prince will never come
But maybe an imperfect person will come
Someone who will come eventually to hold that pen and ink with you
Who will write those blank pages with you
And maybe it's not going to be happily ever after
Maybe you will fight with that person, sometimes. Argue over stupid little things
But together you'll create your one-of-a-kind story
the untold, unexpected, unwritten.... fairytale

Maybe, once upon another time.

Will you.
