Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs

Hey Snow White, do you remember? It was us who took you in when you were lost in the forest. During your darkest hours, when you were abandoned, helpless, weak, and unsecured, we took it up on ourselves to make sure these mentioned demons retreat.

We are a group of people unpleasant to the eyes, but you know very well how much compassion we can share. You, who is the green in the eyes of all humans, brought joy and light to our dull and repetitive days, taught us how beautiful life can be even for people like us. We swore to ourselves, that we will let no harm come to you as long as one of us still breathes.

We have failed.

For though we have hearts rivaling a battalion of knights, our flesh is still of a group of short little men. What we did was what we could. So is it enough?

That is for you to answer.

But you don't have to tell us, for in the blink of an eye it didn't matter anymore.

Prince Charming came, and it seems that he was the one that you've always been waiting for. The beautiful smile on your face equals a million words. Go. That is where your "happily ever after" lies.

Now we have returned to our lives before you came. We thought we did.

We didn't.

Every time we look around, we see memoirs of your presence. We had come to learn about joy and love, learned that our lives before you were miserable, that you are a our precious princess. And now finally, we learned that life without you is the true meaning of pain.

But we are aware of our destiny: As the seven dwarfs, we are not meant to be part of your 'happily ever after', but only to keep it alive and write about it...
