i want to be a prince

i want to be a prince
well, more of a princely-type
like the ones you see in dramas
on silver and gold screens
where they serenade you with lullabies
accompanied by acoustic symphonies
filled with compliments
just for you.

i want to be a prince
not to escape my life as it is
but just to bring others joy
on the gloomiest of days
i want to shine pathways through the fog
with affection and goodwill
just to make you smile
for a moment.

i want to be a prince
actually, i want to love
without repercussions or rejection
just to love those that deserve to be loved
even if the sentiments are jumbled
i would love to be a shoulder for you
to support yourself, hold yourself up
through all that you go through
and make you feel at home.

i want to be a prince
not for the accolades or splendor
but just so that you can be
even for only a moment
happy.
