Fairytale

First time we met,
The lights were dim and the day was dead,
With music pumping out from somewhere far away.

You looked at me
And I should've known then, that this 
Was the moment the rollercoaster tips off the edge. 

Now I can count the freckles on your cheeks
And sketch the pattern of your jeans,
Picture the strands of your hair,
The way your breath mists the air.

One touch and I remember
The lines that mark your skin
The softness of your fingertips
Brushing up against mine.

But I'm waking up from this pleasant dream
the clouds have already turned grey.
I cry because beyond my reach is a past that I cannot forget. 

You're so close to me,
Walking side by side, you see,
I'm having such a hard time holding myself back.

I only just met you, and already you're there,
This is the stuff of fairytales,
Holding me ten feet in the air,

Dangling from the roof
Of a hundred storey building,
But I just can't bring myself to care.

But we're just a dream, a story,
So tell me how is this fair?
