Ever After

I'm waiting here
in the shadow of your tower
for the day that I can rescue you

I've never felt so powerless
my sword and shield discarded
battling a dragon named Time
with nothing but my will
my love for you
and a promise in my heart

Dawn to dusk
there is only Time
and my struggle to be the knight
you expect me to be
because I love you

I wonder if you know
in your cold tower
how much I burn
to be free of Time

to effect a valiant rescue
and let the story after this story
finally be written.
