She always stood upon her balcony, looking out into the distance at the castle that was lit up, its glow like the softness of the sun as it begins to face, her favorite time. Her heart always dreamed and longed for a knight in shining armor to come and whisk her away, so that she could dance at the castle hall in a dress like that out of a dream…..
He always stayed out of sight and watched her gaze longingly at what she could never have, and it hurt his heart, for he loved her, he loved her so much, and would give anything he had, even his very soul, to see her happy. When she smiled, his heart melted, she was truly an angel on earth…..
He asked one day if she would meet him by the lake at sunset, when the sky shone her favorite color, and opened the door to her imagination of wonder…..
She came, and saw rows and rows of lit candles, as if she were standing among the stars, the lake shone with the last rays of the sun, and the scent of fresh bloomed flowers filled the air…..
“I am but a poor man, no shining armor, no castle, but from the moment I saw you smile, you took my heart as yours and never do I wish it to return. I love you with a love so pure, and your happiness is all there is for me. I would give away eternity, for just a dance with you tonight”…..
They danced, like two that have always been one, there amid their own stars. Beautiful cannot describe the creation of love, not can any other word, and yet beautiful is the only way to describe it.
