Why momentary fairytales that eventually shatter your heart can be a good thing

For all the risks i have taken, for all the moments where my heart has been broken, for all those times i thought i was in love even though i only knew you for a second, a minute, barely a day.

All the men that were fireworks in the sky and oh so shortlived.

I thank you now for i have met a great man. And he is not fireworks in the sky. He is gentle and holds me so lovingly.

I fall asleep in his arms knowing he will be there in the morning.

Lovely.
