The things I never thought I'd do
A poem about love at first sight
As a girl I dreamed of being Cinderella and finding true love
As a girl I dreamed of love like it was the only way of existing
As a girl I dreamed of fairytales and poofy dresses
As a teen I faced more realism
As a teen I learned that life is not made up of fairytales
As a teen I learned that love didn’t come easy to Cinderella
As a teen I learned love was work
As a young woman I questioned if love would ever find me
As a young woman I wondered if I would ever find it
Let alone at first sight
By nineteen I had almost given up on the hopes of my eight year old self
By nineteen I began questioning if something was wrong with me
By nineteen I wondered if love even existed anymore
By nineteen everything changed
That’s when it happened
I looked into the eyes of a man my age and suddenly I did the things I never thought I’d do
I loosely conversed with a man whose eyes drew me in
I grew instantly infatuated with a caramel eyed man as though the eight year old me was right all along
As a young girl I dreamed of being Cinderella and finding true love
As a nineteen year old millennial I stared down the barrel of that very gun
As a now woman I saw beyond caramel eyes and dreamed of more
In one moment I went from hopelessly wondering to hopelessly in love
I suppose it’s true after all, writers really are die hard hopeless romantics
Years have passed since that moment
I now do all the things I never thought I’d do
I fold a mans laundry too
I crave the sweet bliss of laying my head on his chest
I know just how he likes his food
I listen to songs we made memories to so I can relive them
I massage his back and rub his feet
I’m a nurse, a cook and a partner in crime
I crave his presence
I dream of marrying him
The young girl I was all those years ago dreamed of being Cinderella
The young girl I was imagined true loves kiss and poofy dresses
The teen I became never thought I’d find it
She never thought I’d cook for a man
Never imagined I’d grow to love the things another does
The teen I became never imagined wanting to give someone the world while also wanting to live in it with them
The teen I grew into never imagined I would brush my teeth next to a man while he uses the toilet
Nineteen year old me never saw it coming
I never thought I would look so deeply into the soul of anyone
I never anticipated gazing into caramel eyes and never looking back
I, now in my twenties, never thought I would be sitting here writing about love at first sight…
Crazy isn’t it?
I never thought beyond my wildest dreams that I would be in my own fairytale
Crazy how the things I never thought I’d do became all the things I do
And hope to do for the rest of my life
