Oh princess, why did you run from me? I know it seemed like I wanted forever but I had just wanted to be a friend to you. It seemed like I had just found someone who understood me and didn't care about the materialistic things in the world. You had been so different, so young and energetic, dangerous but with a sweetly centre. My love, you had wowed me from the first hello to that last goodbye as my carriage arrived. And yet, though I long for more, you're not ready my sweet. You ran from me, though I lusted only after your mind and the need to make you smile. It's crazy I know that we should meet this way, and though my kingdom is growing, I still have dragons to overcome. To know you wholly would have taken a lifetime, of which I've lived twice over. I am a King and I thought I had my queen eons ago but she wasn't meant to be. And with two children in between us, I wouldn't want you deemed to be the wicked stepmother. Cliches are beneath us princess. We had danced the night away and you had listened with those eager brown eyes and a teasing smile. I had watched you move with reckless abandon on the dance floor and felt my heart soar at your passion for life. I saw you free and it was worth waiting for.
You princess, you could have been the one for me.
But still you run from me...
The King
