two guys, a girl and ever after

Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for.
-- Job 6:8
fairy tales, cynics say, are for naïve, flighty airheads. well, they wouldnt dare talk like that about the brothers grimm or hans christian andersen. i grew up in an environment where imagination ran high and creativity was encouraged. children's classics and [lots] of cartoon-watching molded my personality, so by the time i was in kindergarten, i was telling my classmates my own version of the princess and the pea. it was also in kindergarten that i met my first crush who i believed was the "right guy" for me. yup. that was in kindergarten, alright. so you could just imagine when i grew up...
(let's go said he
not too far said she
what's too far said he
where you are said she)
i have two first-rate best friends i truly care for. they're ardent pursuers who know me from head to foot and would go anywhere with me in a heartbeat. i had huge (godzilla) crushes on both, but some time last year, i found out that i was in-love with one of them. as alluded to here, here and here, i've messed up.
may i stay said he
(which way said she
like this said he
if you kiss said she

my other best friend is willing to pack up and move closer to me. i used to imagine him doing exactly that years ago.
but now, i realise this is who i need.
happily ever-afters happen, often with twists and turns. i'm twisting and turning now.
And while Cinderella and her prince did live happily ever after, the point is, gentlemen, that they lived.
