You are worth it

"You think you know everything," I said, "that you know all about magic moments, the the inner child ... I don't know what you are doing here with me".

He laughed, "I admire you. And I admire the battle you're waging with you heart".

"What battle?"

"Never mind", he said. But I knew what he was talking about.

"Don't kid yourself", I said. "We can talk about it if you life. You are mistaken about my feelings".

He stopped fooling with my glass and looked at me.

"No, I am not mistaken. I know you don't love me."

This confused me even more.

"But I am going to fight for your love," he continued. "There are some things worth fighting for to the end."

I was speechless.

"You are worth it", he said.

I turned away, pretending to be interested in the restaurant's decor. I had been feeling like a frog, and suddenly I was a princess again.
