We all grow up listening to fairy-tales. With their, twisted fates, evil stepmothers, dark curses and impossible dreams turning into sparkly dresses, charming princes, fairy-godmothers and the true love's kiss to fix everything in the end. These simple stories bring us impossible hope. And hopeless little girls grow up dreaming of perfect happy endings.
But I wonder if Happy-Endings do exist or if fairy-tales are just sad lies?
Being one of those girls who were too cynical to believe in fairy-tales, I was taken by surprised when once upon a time, I stumbled upon one unfolding in my own life. I was enchanted by the twist of fate that lead me to you. In those few moments, it felt as if the time stood still. Everything was so beautiful, almost magical in its own way. You were too good to be true and now that I think of it, I only wish I had known better.
Miraculous, wasn't it? You and me finding each other in that unlikeliest moment. All those days and things that were written in the stars and guess what, I was clueless. And each time I thought that it couldn't get any better than this, you had your way of knocking me off the ground and sweeping me off my feat.
And despite myself, I allowed myself to be wrapped up in this fantasy. Even in times of doubt, insecurities and heartbreaks, I never lost hope for us. Until eventually I did.
There is something that you taught me though, and that is that all things, good or bad, come to an end which may not necessarily be good. Fairy tales do exist. Amazing, magical things happen but happy ending are mostly unlikely. Not everyone lives happily ever after.
And now that I look at the ruins of what used to be perfect, I wonder if in a way, you did give me a fairy tale. Our story, in spite of not ending well, did leave me with a million beautiful memories to last a lifetime. All the things that I learnt from you. About hope and disappointment. About love and heartbreak. About fairy tales and tragedies.
So I guess you are my fairy tale undone. Beautifully broken.
