Once upon a time I was in love,
I, a princess with her head soaring above,
With a prince of charm flawed perfectly in these eyes,
Shared affection, senses attune, never felt so alive.
Once upon a time I went on a roller coaster ride,
Flying in somersaults, refraining thoughts of its subside,
Entered a world of colour aglow,
Submerged in feelings, mind only came second in tow.
Once upon a time I was free falling so fast,
I was petrified, oblivious how long it would last,
To let go was empowering,
Control, restraints, analyzing.
Once upon a time my fairytale came true,
I'm not naive, pain, hardships, tears played on cue,
Though I choose to focus on the magic,
Not the instances that could portray life as tragic.
Once upon a time is a story ill cherish,
Embedded in my thoughts, an encounter to relish,
Once upon a time is a past I knew,
But now it has concluded, its time to open a chapter anew.
