Last night, I knew I didn't just wake up from a bad dream. From the moment you pulled me closer to your arms and asked me what was wrong while I was still agitated by the horrible images in my mind, I knew right then that I was finally opening my eyes from a two-year long nightmare. As your lips touched my forehead, I knew that was the kind of kiss the prince gave to Aurora. As you stood up and got me a glass of water, I knew that was the kind of glass slipper that changed Cinderella's life forever. Life is not a fairytale at all, I know, but sometimes they come true in subtle moments and little things once we are with the right person.

From now on, it will be just a bad dream, not a bad life.
