Prince of Hearts

I grew up in the

hopeful generation of girls

that distantly loved

Prince William.

I had this poster

of his face (above)

hanging in my room

for all of middle school.

He just always seemed so nice

and well dressed,

didn't he?

And I guess the title of "Prince"

might have added to the enchantment.

A few years ago,

I had my childhood dreams

come to a harsh end.

{enter: Kate Middleton}

They fell in love...

and "rumour" has it,

wedding bells are ringing

in the near future.

It's hard to be too bitter though.

They just look so happy together.

Smitten, if you will.

And, we know that pretty babies are in order

so will at least give us something to

drool over in the tabloids.

But just remember, William,

I loved you first.
