Of Crowns and Blade

Have you ever envied and desired the life of a princess? Or wanted to live in a palace full of luxury and diamonds and wear the fanciest gown and a dazzling crown?
You did? Well that's a shame.
I was a born a princess and lived my life as one, wearing gowns other girls only dreamed of; attending balls with the most gorgeous and the most popular youths in our kingdom; bathing in a bathtub filled with flowers and petals; sleeping in a heavenly soft bed with a great musician playing a lullaby just for me.. That's my life. It's full of shimmering luxury and jewels and stuff.
But wealth and glory comes with isolation and enchainment. Those who dreamed to be in my position are ignorant about its frightening consequence; the higher you get, the more people will try to bring you down. And it's scary. That's how it is to be on the top. In order to survive, you must either step on other people and use them as a leverage or bow down and waggle your tail.
For me, I don't live in a palace, rather, I live in a cage-but a golden cage it is.

YuanFen
What we have is just now. As long as she loves me. As long as she wants to be with me. As long as there is 'we'. I love her! But the rainbow is not just a blend of vibrant and bright colors. It doesn't even stay for a long period of time-- just enough for us to see and in a fleet of time is gone, leaving us wondering if it's real. A rainbow doesn't have black and white. It wasn't just like that. Same as love. Same as us. There were times that i want to give her up. Not because my love did fade, rather, my love is too much. Too much that letting her go is the only option left for her to choose me without hesitation, without guilt, freed of lies. I want her to grow, to weigh things as it is. I want her to make me feel that being with me is her choice. I want her to realize that i am hers and that she have to surrender herself to me as well. I want her to love me because that is the way she feels and not because it was the safest way. Being with her is paradise. It was a mixture of colored pastel. It was too vibrant to explain. But at a sudden twist of downs and ups, we are shaking. Loving her has become my weakness. The weakening thought of losing her when I fuck up is too much to run me insane. I'm overreacting perhaps. But being with her, means walking in a narrow-road of heaven. There's no security, no assurance. One wrong move, and I'll be slipping away. Just in the never ending pain of darkness, of solitude, of self-struggle. Loving her has become my addiction. I couldn't get enough of it. But so they say, what's too much can cause harm. Maybe I'm loving her too much that she finds it hard to breathe when i'm around. But yes, it is just a wishful thinking; things that I'll surely not going to say to her because i will never ever earn the courage to say so. We are just nothing but a 'fateful coincidence.'
