Monster Wall

I fell in love with you long before Once Upon A Time. Happily Ever After hadn’t even been invented yet. But I fell in love with you. And 7 years later, I still love you. I fell from a high perch…floating above clouds, and buildings, and stars…and I fell. Only to land in your arms. I was safe there, hiding behind you, breathing in your perfect scent. And then, the danger had passed and I could let go. But I was still so afraid. I was afraid to let go of you…and so you dropped me. And it hurt. It hurt like a thousand swords slicing through my heart. Why did I let myself hold on to what I knew I would eventually lose? Why did you let me fall in love with you? In a way, it is my fault. Forgive me, my dear, for I was so weak. One look at your beautiful, angelic face and I was under your spell. A moment like the one that I was caught in only comes around once in a life time. I had built a wall around myself…not to keep anyone out…but to see who loved me enough to climb over it. And no matter how many times I invited you to try and scale the rock monster, you remained on the other side of the high boundary…far out of my reach. I hate that wall. I created it to save myself…to find someone like you who could climb over it…but the guardian became the enemy. That wall is keeping us apart. I want to tear it down like an old sheet of newspaper…to run into your arms again and hide there from it. But I cannot. It has passed beyond my powers of control. It is in your hands now. Please…do not let the wall stand before me, an everlasting symbol of what I want so desperately to have…and of what can never be mine. Please…make the wall crumble in your fist like dust. Please…for me.
