"everything ugly is sadly beautiful in our desperate memories." -against me!
this is set in once upon a time. but not the time you're thinking. this time is in your mind. so now we proceed. there was a princess. your classic princess. long flowing dress. pretty short hair. and a beautiful pair of black wings. okay, so maybe she isnt as ordinary as i thought. this princess led an ordinary life. she played with her monkey, alfred. she was always with her father. and her favorite past time was partaking in her beauty sleep. her teddy waited for her every night to join in her rest. she lived the classic fairytale life. except for the fact that she had wings. many people were timid towards her because of them. i mean, its not everyday you see a girl with big black wings coming out of her back. but then again, it was everyday in this kingdom. moving on.. alfred (her monkey) and her teddy were the only two people she had. yes people. besides her father, who was always doing some kingly duty. he let her come along but there was never a chance for the two to talk. she would stand at her balcony late at night just wishing for someone, for something. one night as she was at her balcony she heard the flapping of wings. she saw a blur of white pass her by. she felt a feather brush her cheek. it was a boy. with beautiful white wings. she had never seen him before. in all of her travels and all of her flights, she hadn't seen him. he startled her, she was shy. she joined him in his flight. but it was more like a dance. black and white wings danced about in the night air. the princess had no words to say. the boy didnt speak. they lived in the moment. soon she heard alfred. she flew back to her balcony. the boy followed. they didnt speak with words. their wings touched. their eyes met. their souls became intwined. the princess felt a way she had never before felt. but who was this boy. but did it even matter. their hearts sang to each other. alfred saw what was happening. he was happy. the boy saw alfred and picked him up. alfred went from the boy to his princess and back inside. the boy's and princess' eyes met again. she read his soul. she knew his heart. she felt. yes, something that too rarely happens. she felt. she flew up into the sky. her wing caressing his as she ascended. he watched her fly. no. he watched her dance. after a few moments he knew that she was what he had been searching for. through his travels and loves and sorrows. he had been looking for her. and there she was. she came back down to him. their wings embraced. their arms following. their lips touched. and there they lived in that moment. in the once upon a time in your mind.
