For the visually challenged, this image shows a castle rising out from the water, probably a moat. The structure is shrouded in fog and part of it is reflected in the water. At the back, you can see mountains covered with trees.
She wanted to live in a castle
She wanted so much to be like the princesses in those books
She wanted the knight in shining armor
She wanted to attend the balls
I wanted to be a writer
I wanted to tell and share stories
I had such an imagination
And she loved the stories that I would tell
Childhood friends we were
She married and lived in a grand house
'Twas close enough to the castle that she wanted
Her knight swept her off her feet
But they didn't live happily ever after
I am not the writer that I wanted to be
But I have written things I've been proud of
I haven't travelled enough but my imagination has reached farther than I could go
While she, my friend, stays behind her castle walls
And I wonder how our path deviated so much
