Happily Ever After...Someday

In fairytales, we learn that true love will always overcome.

Once Upon A Time's Snow White and Prince Charming.

Buttercup and Wesley from The Princess Bride.

Chuck and the Pie Maker from Pushing Daisies.

Belle and the Beast from Beauty & the Beast.

But I don't live in a fairytale. My kiss couldn't bring him back. My touch couldn't return him to life. I couldn't rescue him.

My love couldn't save him.

I feel like Severus Snape. No matter how strong my love is, I cannot turn back time. My love for him must serve to guide me, but I must go on alone.







...most days, it's too much. I don't think I can do it. I always wanted someone to love, and someone to love me. Why did I only get 4 1/2 years? I wanted him for the rest of my life.

"Life isn't fair, where is that written?" (Princess Bride)

However, the days where I can see a glimmer of future that perhaps isn't so dark (while still lonely and aching for his arms and beautiful eyes and laugh), I think about the fact that we haven't really said goodbye.

This isn't the end.

Because when it's the end, we will get our happily ever after.

"Death cannot stop true love...all it can do is delay it for a while." -- The Princess Bride
