My prince disappeared in a puff of smoke
I saw him coming, 
he was just the one I had been waiting for,
all those lonely years. 
My heart leapt as I saw him approach. 
Days and years of happiness danced through my head.  
He's the one, and here he comes, at long last. 
How will I welcome him?  Perhaps with a smile.
Will I look into his eyes and see my future?  
Does he know he's coming for me? 
He does, I see it in his eyes. And then he is gone.  
Why? 
Because for one brief shattering moment, 
I doubted my worth, and he was gone. 

 
Well, at least the waiting is over.
