When I was a little girl,
My fairy tales told me stories,
They spoke of princes and love,
Of magic and princesses,
I dreamed......
That my prince would sweep me off my feet,
That he would love me so much-
He would bring me roses,
Recite poetry,
Sing romantic songs,
And that we would dance until we had six kids,
Now I know better,
The rose tinted glasses have fallen,
I smell no scented candles,
I feel no gentle touches,
I hear no romantic songs,
I taste no sweet lips,
And everywhere I look-
I see no love,

I admit I am afraid of love,
Although it is hard to say,
I know it deep down,
My childhood dreams shattered,
Like pieces of broken glass they cut me,
And cause me to bleed,

Some say I am wrong,
That I just haven't found Mr Right,
I know what it is though,
I am just afraid of love.....

Although a child part of me will always wait for my prince.
