Prince Charming

When I was a kid, 
I am very enthralled with fairy tales stories
Like Snow White, Sleeping beauty, Cinderella 
And all the beautiful princesses
I am too, dreamt of meeting a prince charming 
Whose might and charm is also captivating…

At the vertex of fascination
I used to turned all pages of the encyclopedia
My grandpa had the complete series from A to Z
Every day, I viewed the castle of far, far away
Where all princes and princesses live in majestic
I traced the kingdom’s map, draw a castle and cut 
Pasted all on the wall, stared at it, and start to daydream

“Hear ye! Hear ye! This is the servant of the King
The Palace is looking for a maiden who will marry the Prince
 All single ladies are invited to a glorious ball
The Prince will choose, whose beauty is beyond them all
As I daydream, I giggled and it’s like real, I will meet my Prince.”

At my very young age, 
I asked God, “Please send me a prince” 
Who will take care of me; love me as I am,
Who will be my knight and shining armor, 
And will protect me, to my wicked enemy…

When I grew a little bit older, I understand that fairy tales are not for real 
Fairy tales do not exist, Prince charming does not exist 
It is merely a fantasy of a poor and ordinary girl like me

As I grew older, I become more matured 
Experiences in life changed me as I grow old
I understand that the real prince cannot be found
The real prince does not exist 
No charming man who will admire you 
No knight who will protect you
And No man will give you an everlasting love
And no happily ever after in a lover’s life…

As an adult, It is clear to me now
That love is something you can’t easily have
You can’t easily find
And patiently you have to wait and let you find…
Love does not exist in an obvious way
But it is seen deep within someone’s heart
Where it grows old to desire to be in one's heart…
