The Best Lie You Ever Told

To P-P, who I have argued with about the existance of fairies since I was a very little girl and probably will argue with till I'm an old lady.

October 19, 2011
I worshipped the ground you walked on.
I thought you were perfect in every way.
I knew you were always honest.
Yeah, I thought that until today.

You were like rain in the summer,
Like an island in a dreary sea.
A pretty pearl in my eye,
Yeah, until you lied to me.

I thought you were the most honest,
Outstanding person I knew.
Until a couple seconds ago
When I realized you'd lied to me.

You said that fairies don't exist,
That they are a figment,
Yeah, of my imagination!
But you said what you hadn't meant.

I thought you were the most honest,
Truthful person in the world.
Then you said that faires don't exist
And now I know you aren't.

Because just when you said that
You looked up at me
And I swear that when you did that
You looked just like a fairy...

And now I think I'm going to faint
Because I never loved you so much
As I did before you lied to me,
Cuz you're the prettiest fairy on earth!
