but then I felt a sting, slowly I opened up my hands and what I saw was a fairy staring fiercely back at me..
I dared not look away, afraid to even blink, I breathed so very gently, almost unwilling to take the risk, she couldn’t be real, this was a dream gone amiss.. ever so tenderly
I held her as she stood and spread her wings, up she flew and dazzled me, with bits of magic and wonder amongst the ever growing trees…
For months I was enraptured, floating on the breeze as I marvelled at this beauty who had fallen in love with me…close to her I needed to be, unable to see that her magic, was not meant for me, I had trust it it with humulity…
A gilded cage I tried to build, to keep her close in blissful agony, too tight I held, her wings cracking within my loving grip, let me go she said to me, free I must be, trust in we and I’ll return to thee, I love you truly, you’re the one for me, chain me not or you’ll have broken me, our love will die and all you’ll have is distant memory…
