Still My Fairytale

Sometimes I miss you
More than I can bear
From almost constant contact
To suddenly not there
Then I see your words
Or hear your voice in my ears
And next thing I know
I am reduced to tears
We know it wouldn’t work
Let’s not kid ourselves there
But I want to be the primary
Not second as the spare
Throw me in the spotlight
Not the shadows and the dark
Hidden as though I’m shameful
Or that I bear a leper’s mark
Yet I love you just the same
Doubt that will ever pale
Because now, as at the start,
You are my Fairytale
