not that kind of fairytale love

i love you
but it seems you do not love me

i try to reach you
but you are so far

this is not what they said about love
if i recall the movies and the songs
but i do remember when they talk about heartbreak
and how much it hurts

(it hurts so much more
than i ever thought it would)

how can i let go of someone
that i haven't even touched?

could i have fallen in love
with just an idea?

(you fluttered so quickly away
like dust)

i wouldn't be surprised,
it happens all the time
but i never thought that it would happen like this

not like this

if this was a fairytale and i had just one wish,
i'd spend it on wishing
that all of this was real.
