You rode in on a white horse
ready to rescue me from the despair that I was sinking into
deep dark despair
You offered to lift me up
and place me on the back of your horse
you held onto me so gently
more gently than anyone has before
you made me feel like your princess
you are prince charming
I could feel your hands
damp with anticipation
you showed me love
when I didn't feel worthy of it
I was sleeping beauty
poisoned and barely alive
you tried to awaken my spirit
with a gentle kiss
that turned into many
you loved my body like it was the most
perfect one you'd ever seen
you made me feel wanted
and you didn't have to say a word
I'd give anything to live in your kingdom
I want to be your queen
I want to feel like this forever
Be patient with me, my prince
as I slowly open my heart
to accept the love you have to offer
unselfish, unconditional, undeniable
let us ride off into the sunset together needing each other
like we need air to breathe.
