The Warrior Princess

I saw the gates wide opened so I get in. 
My steps are getting heavier.
I put down the steel mask I am wearing.

I looked around. I saw a crowd dressed elegantly…
in their faces, you will just how happy they are to be there. 

My heart knows only one person that even at a distance I can recognize him.

I smiled and silently whispered… “You look terribly great, my Prince.”

The Prince saw me. He smiled.

He came closer and said. 

“Do I look like a real Prince, my Princess?”

“Yes, you are,” I said.

“I came to witness your wedding.  I just want to see just how you prepared for this.” 

"What can you say?"

"It's awesome. I know you're happy."

Then the Prince asked…. 

"Are you?" 

And I never answered.

Then I saw the Princess, the union is about to start.  
The Prince said, "I hope you'll be happy, too. Someday"

I nod and wear my mask again.

The Prince took the hand of the Princess and glanced at me.

That castle is no longer mine.

It belongs to my Prince and his Charming Princess.

I can never go back to the place I called Land of the Loving.

Because I am no longer allowed to.

The union marks the closing of the gates.

The exchange of I Do’s vanished all the powers of the magic word cast upon us.

The keys were no longer in my hands, I gave it to the Prince.

Until the last minute, I wish I was the one reciting the vows.

As I lock the last gate, I stopped for a while and gave my one last look at the Castle I built for 5 long years. The Castle I built… to house the lucky Princess.

I know for a fact, that in that castle, I carefully left my heart and entrust it in the hands of the Prince.  That’s the only reason why the Warrior Princess came.

Now I am taking a graceful exit.

Taking a new journey… this is the FINAL FANTASY.

If you look inside a girl's heart and see how much she cries
You'll find secrets, promises and lies
But what you'll see most is how hard she tries to stay strong
when nothing is right and everything's wrong.
