Almost Cinderella

You clasped my hand out of the blue,
With a sparkle in your eyes.
I thought we would never run out of time.

You held me so tightly,
I was on the end of your kite,
And you held me just by a string.
Nothing much, but enough, you know?

But one day, your arms got tired of holding me,
And I drifted away so scared....
I floated past the trees and I saw the streets,
But before I knew it,
I was on my knees....

A tattered kite on the ground,
Stepped on and thrown around...
I missed flying under your grasp,
But now, I wasn't even on your map.

So I stayed there and waited,
The moon above me,
Then the sun,
Then the moon again....

Until one day,
I wanted to be found.
I began to fly straight to your house,
A little blue house,
Not even on the map.

I knocked on your door
And left a note and a shoe
It wasn't much....

I figured if you loved me,
And I loved you,
It might mean i could run back to you,
And be almost cinderella
Waiting patiently for you.
