dream as if you'll live forever, Do as if you'll die tomorrow


I look at you as you walk by
You give me an engaging smile
I think about you all the time
I don’t think you ever think of me
Or about me at all
But it doesn’t matter
It makes me smile just knowing
I crossed your mind for just that moment
Even for just a second.
I smile at you even though you can’t see it
I’m at a ball…
A masquerade ball
I’m dressed as Cinderella
I see a prince charming in the middle of the room
He smiles up at me,
I smile at him as I walk down the steps toward him.
Then we start to dance
Later that night,
He asks who I am
And I ask who he is.
He removes his mask, and I see…it is you.
I smile and I take off my mask
When you see it is me you give me a charming smile.
Then I awake to someone saying my name.
It is you; I give you a gentle smile,
And you give me a kind-hearted smile back.

I like it it's very typical like all the cinderella stories out there don't compare yourself to a fairytale princess because your not a princess you know hard work you don't expect things to be handed to you, you take control of your life and you know what you can do so your not the princess your a queen!
