You Are My Sunshine [poetry]

🍃

[this isn't really a poem it's just how i feel about a certain girl]

i barely remember the time in my life
when i didn't know what
butterflies feasting on the knots in my stomach felt
and love was only existent in the pages of fairy tale stories my mother read to me
the tales where the prince would wake his maiden with a kiss

yet in my fairy tale you are my princess
and you are not saving me,
you are inspiring me to save myself
and when i look into your deep brown eyes
and trail my fingers across your perfect tan skin
all i can think of is you

my princess,
you are more than a princess to me
you are a goddess
your smile is built from kindness
and your beauty is like the sky's
a girl so ethereal cannot possibly exist

my princess,
i think our love is yet another fairy tale.
