The Fairy Queen

\nI saw you dance in sunbeams, in the clearing in the wood
\nAnd lost my heart to how you made me feel.
\nYou moved like liquid satin, I was frozen where I stood,
\nHow could I know a fairy queen was real.
\nThe magic of the moment met the wonder in my eyes,
\nMy life was changed forever by an afternoon surprise.<\/p>\n
Each day I found I wandered to that leafy woodland glade
\nWhere first I saw the ruler of my heart.
\nYou never said you saw me as I watched you from the shade
\nAs you rehearsed the movements of your art.
\nEach day you danced more lithely and each day I loved you more,
\nI never thought to ask you what it was you danced there for.<\/p>\n
Three weeks we kept the ritual, three weeks of summer bliss.
\nWe never spoke, although you smiled at me.
\nI dreamed each night you loved me and were waiting for a kiss
\nBut never made my dreams reality.
\nThere came a day when you weren’t there, the glade was grey and bare,
\nNo fairies in the sunlight and no music in the air.<\/p>\n
Beneath my tears I noticed there was something on the tree,
\nAn envelope was pinned right where I’d look.
\nNo writing on the outside but I knew it was for me
\nInside there was a ticket and a book.
\nI read the book that evening, then I watched you dance the role
\nAnd after by the stage-door, just one kiss and I was whole.<\/p>\n
