Fairytale

Lights
Colorful lights
Blinking brightly
Red
Blue
Green
Yellow
Casting shadows
Amongst the blankets of snow
Pure white snow
Carolers singing merrily
Around some Christmas trees
The Chistmas trees surrounded the park
Fully decorated
The watercolor skies
The twinkling stars
The vanilla full moon
The elegance of it all was
Overwhelming
He wrapped his arm around my waist
As I leaned against him
Walking down the trails of
Forest Hills Park
I hummed along with the carolers
"Silent night, holy night..."
Their voices faded away
As we walked to a swingset
Our swingset
We had been going here for
Years
All those memories
Beautiful Memories
At night we would walk here
And talk
For hours
Even back when we were just
Kids
We would come here to
Play
Hangout
Have fun
I sat down on a swing
My swing
It was starting to rust
All the writing I scratched on
Were still there
But there was a new one
It was a heart with
Wording written in sharpie inside it
"D+B Forever"
I glanced at Blake
He smiled his toothy smile
He slid onto the swing beside me
Softly pushing my swing
He looked angelic sitting next to me
Perfect
A dream
A fairytale
My knight in shining armour
Everything I could ever ask for
His long sandy hair that almost covered
His beautiful honey eyes
Soft
Yet so strong
With a fire burning in his
Soul
His pale skin seemed to
Glow
In the moonlight
I gazed into his eyes
There was something there
Something he was hiding
But he looked away before
I could inspect any further
He looked up
Mistletoe
It hung from the top of the swingset
I hadn't seen it there earlier
It was hard to miss
It was as if it
Magically
Appeared there
I returned my gaze to him
His face was dangerously close to mine
I stared intently into his
Warm mystical eyes
Before I could say a word
He leaned in and
Kissed me
I could feel myself
Catch my breath
Why would an angel like him
Want to be with a girl like me
There was nothing special about me
But he saw something in me
That I hope I will be able to see
I was always afraid that he would soon
Realize that I didn't belong with him
I, an ordinary girl
He, an angel
A dream
A fairytale
What was he doing with me
He could have any girl in the world
But he picked
Me
I was
Stupid
Clumsy
Imperfect
But he still claimed there was a
Fire
A fire somewhere in there
Ready to ignite and shine
I still couldn't see what he meant by that
He was a fairytale
And fairytales weren't
Real
He led me away from the swings
To a Christmas tree
He waved his arm
"This is a special tree,"
I raised my eyebrows
"And why is that?"
He smiled slyly and that
Sparkle in his eyes appeared
When the moon caught his eyes perfectly
"Tis because there is a gift under it,"
A little black box
He chuckled quietly as
I let escape a gasp
He knelt down
And placed my hand
Upon his
"Diane Marie Howards, will you marry me?"
My heart seemed to be caught in my throat
I looked into his eyes
Trying to read him
But I couldn't think
I wanted to scream
"Yes!"
But I couldn't speak
The diamond ring
It was the symbol of
Eternal love
It was so beautiful
Sparkly
Shiny
Pure
I realized I was trembling
Trembling with
Fear
Compassion
Love
Because a fairytale
My fairytale
Had finally become
Real
"Blake Timothy Wells, yes, yes I will,"
