because we slow dance in the rain

hopeless romantic. HOLLAA

rain falling down
slowly and steadily
drenching my ball gown
and your gorgeous suit

do we care? no.
my perfectly waved hair has straightened
as has your naturally curly hair in the
pouring rain

my eyeliner and mascara are all over your
crisp, white shirt
but i'm glad it's raining, despite it ruining this
because you can't see me crying.

i'm crying from happiness
the joy of being this close feels amazing
you are holding me near and dear
and our love is surrounding us like a blanket

slow dancing
in the rain
in a ball gown
i feel like a faerie princess

opportunities like this never happen
except for in faerie tales
with a beautiful princess
and a strong prince

you make me feel like a beautiful princess
and you are my strong prince
is this a faerie tale? no
it's reality

thank you for making my...our reality
better than a faerie tale
better than my dreams
better than a fiction novel

slow dancing
in the rain
in a ball gown that's drenched
but i AM a faerie princess

my white gloves are dripping with water
my makeup has washed away
i have black vertical lines down my face below my eyes
yet you look at me like i'm the most beautiful thing you've ever seen

how i love that look
and how i love the way you pull me close
keeping me safe and warm
with your arms around me

how i love you giving me your coat
how i love how you dance
how i love your voice humming in my ear
how i love the way you lean towards me and kiss me
while slow dancing
in the rain.
