Once upon a time

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 atune, never felt so alive.

Once upon a time I went on a rollercoaster 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 freefalling 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,
Im not naïve, 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.
