Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone...

"...i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run."-Love Story, Taylor Swift.

You know, when I was young, at some point, I believed that everything began with once upon a time and ended with happily ever after. A prince and a princess; smiling faces; love. True love; pure.

What happened to my delusion? That's right; delusion. I can't see a world of pixie dust and the magic of love. I can't see a world of sunshine where a man and a woman love each other for eternity; undying, everlasting.

Who did me wrong, you ask? Noone. It's all me. For where there is light, shadow follows. What's to stop the hungry claws of darkness from engulfing my light? What if i wanted John Smith instead of Prince Eric, though I am the daughter of Trident? What is happily ever after but a sentence for all eternity, never ending with no escape?

I am afraid. Afraid.

Forever is a long time. Saying the word makes me stutter.My breath is caught in my throat, my heart rate quickens, and i have the unsupressable urge to run. Run and never look back.

And so I did.

Not everyone wants a prince, and not all princes stay charming. The devil lurks in them too; their vengence surpasses that of a poisoned apple or eternal slumber. At least Sleeping Beauty could sleep. I would give anything to have taken a bite of the poisoned apple.

This brings me to the all important question. Is anyone worthy of being a prince at all? Behind the facade of charm and integrity lies a demon of revenge. A fraud hiding behind a well cafte mask.Suddenly running seemed like the best desicion ever made.

Will I keep running forever?

Though another prince is found, his debonair ways may not lead to happily ever after either. When you start running, its difficult to stop.

I may just be a broken puppet, forever tied to unbreaking strings.
