My Frog Prince

All green and unkempt, he sat there so still and he smiled as he hopped on my window sill. Many days he came 'round with that sweet little smile and so I grew fond of him after awhile. There was such a lovely sparkle in those innocent eyes. The color was like the bluest of skies. One Thursday I saw his smile full of bliss, I decided that I should give him one kiss. A kiss full of love—then what should I see... but a handsome young prince looking at me. We shared many days and nights full of laughs. Soon much happiness started to pass. My prince grew stressed and saddened too. It broke my heart to see him so blue. He told me he was happier in his quiet green skin and so this beginning soon came to an end. I closed my eyes at his request, and our last kiss on his lips did rest. In a moment he changed...his wish was fulfilled. I carefully helped him onto the window sill. One final smile and he turned to go. Though I was happy for him, I'd miss him so. He comes by still every now and again to tell me he loves me with that simple grin. Though our love was strong and his heart I did win, I knew I must let him go to remain his friend
