A slight breeze passed Emily's face. She opened her eyes,and rubbed them realizing that she was so lost in her thoughts, she didn't even know if she was sleeping or awake. She knew she been thinking of him, again. She missed him.  She needed him with her, sharing their life together, making their dreams come true together, be there for each other, love and care for each other. She wrote  poetry for him. Almost since always, as she can remember, now they are quite in number. Her friends liked her poetry, the few closed one's of course. She is a private person who is always lost in her dreams, all so she can spend time with her prince there. Her sister's laughed at her dreams, her poems. Everyone mocked at her dreams, her belief, but she didn't give up. Time had been too tough on her, but she didn't give up on her dream, her belief, it only got stronger and real for her and she wished to meet her prince more and more, missed and waited, waited and missed. Her heart literally hurt, her eyes couldn't hold tears, but she still holds on to it.....

She took out a piece of paper from her notebook where she wrote rough draft of her poems, then later used to transfer it to her diary. She came to sit under the tree, thinking of him, being touched and inspired by the look of the surrounding, under the tree, near a large pond, scattered bushes of rose and other flowers.She was lost in her thoughts of him... she really missed having him for real so much.

"My prince, when will you come to me? I am waiting for you here. Come, life is so lonely without you near me. Now it is so hard to live just looking at the stars and finding myself all alone. I need your shoulder to put my head on. When will you come, say?

                                                                                     Yours Fairy." @};-

She didn’t exactly know why, but she never wrote her real name at the end instead she signed it off as 'Fairy', drawing a rose alongside.

As she wrote, tears filled her eyes, her heart was in an anxious state, the words of her sisters used to strangle her soul. She didn't believe what they said, but it used to effect her. Just for a moment her fears would get the  upper-hand and she would shiver with the thought of - 'What if....?' he never let the question complete itself. Her determination to find him, have him for real would replace these fears as they came. It's all her sisters doing. They keep mocking at her day and night and it's effecting her, but in her heart she had made a promise to her prince.

"I won't let you down my prince, you are my life, my heart, all you have to do is come for me to prove you my words and iIll wait for you. No matter what happens, what life made me through, my heart will not give up on you. I'll be waiting for you..."

She wiped her tears and hurriedly got up and ran towards her cottage.  She heard her mother calling and coming towards her. She ran quickly,so deep in her thoughts as always, she didn't hear her and now she going to get an ear-full. Her heart gave a thud, she closed her eyes and said "Don't worry my prince, I'm used to it, I'll wait for you, no matter what,remember? She smiled and reached where her mother now stood, stopping on seeing her coming towards her.

She was not angry, didn't actually shouted, but very firmly said "You know we got to leave and you have been doing red riding hood again."

As she turned her back to inside, Emily silently giggled at her words. She has always been the mischievous one. The bubbly, chirpy one of all her sisters and everyone loved her this way and one of the reasons why her sisters made fun of her dreams was because they could see how serious she been about it and they realize that she missed that love and it made her sad at times and they want her to come out of it. he wouldn't. Never! She was  crazy for him, she has been collecting cards and gifts all her life waiting to give to him when she met him, to show him, prove him how she been waiting for him, loving him, dreaming and living in her dreams, writing poetry and dedicating all to him. Making it as real as possible just so to fill the emptiness she feels without him. She believed in love, in destiny and she knew... she feels her prince in her destiny. She just has to wait for the right time.

The family was now on their way back to the city. Sitting at the back of the car, admiring the view from the window for over an hour, she decided to read the letter she wrote at the backyard, she opened her notebook but it was not there. She realized, in her haste to run to her mom, the paper must have slipped and fell from the notebook. She was sad, but she believed everything happens for a reason, she wished it to be too, for a good one. She remembered what she wrote so she was sure in her heart that it will reach to the one it been meant for.

Placing her hand upon her heart, she said:

"Every day I get one step closer to meeting you, My Prince and I'll wait for a thousand years if I have to, even if I get a single day to live with you. I am dying everyday waiting for you, but in that one day I'll live my entire life because you will be with me. My Love, My Life, My Prince." "I Love You My Prince..Come, I'm waiting for you"!

And she felt something in her heart, an inspiration hit her and she knew her next poem is just on the way. She even decided the title of the poem - "Come. life is too lonely without you near me" <3
