such a place

i suppose there
is such a thing
as happily ever
after despite
not having found
it yet, that it's
not a fairy tale,
or fable, or story
that unfolds on
the soaps or in a
movie where all
the stars gleam
and glisten.
i believe that
there is a place
where you can be
in love forever.
where nothing
changes except
for the better.
where love actually
grows, where it
is full of compassion,
and forgiveness,
and kindness. yes.
i believe there
is such a place,
i really do.
