Whoever came up with the phrases "Good things come to those who wait" and "Love happens when you least expect it" should be hailed as geniuses. Because of bad experiences with men in the past, I was becoming cynical about love. I was holding onto that tiny thread of hope for so long that I thought that that thread was going to break, and there would be no hope left for me, especially after my father died last year. I was so scared and felt so alone and I was hoping for my prince charming to save me from all the misery and pain I was feeling. I had been waiting for twenty-two years for my prince charming, and I think he's finally arrived. He treats me like a princess. He makes me feel so attractive and beautiful. No man has ever made me feel like this in the past. I look into his eyes and we just click. There's no one else around. It's just me and him; that's it. When we kiss I just melt into him. Is this what love is supposed to be, or am I just dreaming? If this is what love is supposed to be, I want it to last forever. If it's all just a dream, well...I never want to wake up.
