You Remind Me
Of childhood.
Fairy stories of beautiful princesses and
Their knights in shining armour.
Sunlight and butterflies dancing across fields.
People cried, sometimes. Never for long.
Of happiness.
Bursting into song and dance in the middle of the street
We don't care what they think.
On a beach, the sea a glittering sapphire;
A warm smile and gentle eyes.
Your hand folds itself neatly over mine.
Of pain.
The prince has forgotten his horse.
He cuts a sad figure; limping along dusty roads
His armour scratched and dull.
The sky is overcast and the sea choked with garbage.
The people here do not cry
But they have forgotten how to sing.
In that one glance
You remind me of all these.
End.

This can benefit from a LOT of comments. I like the imagery to it, but please critique so I may improve. Thank you. =)
