Blue Fairytales

The Window and the Tree

The window was opened wide,
Then I saw her sit at the side.
She's like a fairy cloth in white
Crowned with golden locks, her name was Blythe.

Look down, my angel,
Just a glimpse, please, I'm here
Look down my love,
Smile at me even just for a second.

I went to this tree every noon,
For a chance for you to look down soon.
I'm waiting and waiting with glee,
That you'll notice this man under this cypress tree.

I saw you were sad one day,
The glints in your eyes, I'll dare say
That they're tears waiting to be shed
Shed them dear, don't be afraid.

To climb your window, I dared;
Just to tell you, not to be deterred
To shed your tears, if you feel down
If you just let me, I'll be your clown.

I don't know when did it all began,
I just saw you and I was stunned.
It was your radiant smile, I guess
In just one glimpse, I was a mess.

But you're too high my dear,
I'm just a lowly man, I fear.
Will your window open up for this lowly tree?
Because I'll let my emotions rage free.

But I guess I'm too ambitious,
You're a girl, too high and precious.
I guess I'll leave to another town,
Because I know you'll never look down.

Too eager, I opened my window
At the corner of my eyes, I saw him down below.
He was reading an old tattered book,
How I wish he'll give me another look.

I pretend I am not looking,
But when he look down, I kept assessing
His hair and face, all of him
Was in a perfect rhythm.

He went to that tree every noon,
I always dread when he leaves too soon.
I wonder why he stays on that tree?
Like me, does his heart jumps with glee?

I wonder when did it all started,
Just one look and I faltered.
His smile got me mesmerized,
I was done for before I realized.

But I'm compromised to another man,
I can't have his light though he is my sun.
I am doomed but I won't cry.
I'll just look at him until my sadness fly.

I saw him stoop up with shoulders down,
I couldn't help but notice his frown.
I suddenly felt strange deep inside.
It was like I was seeing him for the last time.

He never came back again
I waited and waited, in shine and rain
Till the day I closed my window
For the cypress tree down below.

A/N :

A sad tale for two people who feels the same way. Yet they did not have the heart to let it free. The man should have shouted to the girl. The girl should have smiled when he was looking. It was all a choice and they choose not to do anything. Sad. Hope those who found love would choose to fight for it. Cheers!

Thank you for reading :)
