Where Dreams and Reality Intersect
The man on paper
can do everything,
speaks perfectly,
and always becomes
a version of Prince Charming.
We swoon
over our favorite tropes,
rolling our eyes
at cheesy lines,
while still hoping
for a perfect, real man
who will reflect
ideal, over-romanticized characters.
Can a real man
be imperfect
and still
perfect for me?
How close can a man of flesh
get to an idea of perfection
someone else has made up?
Prince Charming
may not exist,
but that does not mean
I don’t have standards.
Living in an
imperfect world
with imperfect people
requires determining where
dreams and reality
intersect.
