the prince and the princess

there was a time 

when the princess had no one

and no matter how much she wished or

dreamed for her handsome prince

she was still alone and

there was no one 

and it was a few years after

that she decided to forgo

all her wishing

and if he came along

then and only then

would she give of herself

all the love that

she had been saving for

because only then 

would she know

real true love

time passed slowly at first

and then began to speed up

until one day she met 

someone and as

the weeks moved along

he tried to get to know her

better and better and

they became good friends

and one day, he suggested

that they get 

together and share their

favorite hobby,

enjoying music... they

met at the concert

and laughed and he 

held her hand and she felt

the friendship grow

so the princess began to fall

in love with

 her prince, who seemed

honest and true and 

all he wanted to do

was be with you

but was he the prince she had

been looking for....

a kiss is but a kiss 

except if it's wrapped

in love and sweeter

then wine, and

if it feels real 

then you know

all that time you waited

was the way you

were meant to feel

the darkness upon me

wraps me in love

you held me so tight

oh please, never let me go

your lips on my lips

no one can know

breathless and weak

I give in and long

for you once more

you wait for your prince

 sometimes he comes in 

the darkness of night

it's not always

the way it's supposed to go

all sweetness and light

but you wait nonetheless
as your heart fills with hope

the prince and the 

princess

is just a dream upon a dream
and you learn to just cope

it's not always

the way it's supposed to go

and then was it really

the love you were looking for

but would you then give

him up, slowly letting go

or live with the love

that you finally know

the way the story goes....

but instead he steals your heart
and you learn that might be
all that you get
and it's not what you thought at all
and you're full of regrets

because that's the way
the story goes
the prince and the princess
story
is not always the way
it's supposed to go
and sometimes it's just
the way it's
supposed to go
a tale of true happiness
or a tale of woe
only the prince and the princess
know.
