Dear Lover

Thanks to Disney at the drive-in I believe
that someday my prince will come,
and I cling to this notion with
the dreamy aspect of an unspoiled child.
But I am chased, too, but the fear
that I will somehow pass you by
not know you when we meet
and miss my shot at love, fate, destiny
happily every after.
I give every man a second look,
a second chance,
I don't trust my eyes, let alone my heart
to know you when you come.
So it would be great, lover,
if you would ride up on a white horse,
the sun flashing off your armor,
or at least wear a bright, brimming red heart
emblazoned on your chest.
Maybe you could wait for me
on the other side of a busy street
holding up one of those airport signs
with my name on it.
I'll pass by all the heartache,
run past the empty yet dazzling flings
and fall safely, surely, at last
into the arms I was made for.
