There have been love stories, stories about love, stories that end with love, that try to emulate love, and yes, stories that claim to know of love. And then, there is LTL.
So, there was this girl who had stopped believing in life. She'd simply lost faith in it coz she felt it hadn't been fair to her. She had once been a believer. She believed in things others couldn't see. She felt it deeper than most. And so, when life snuck up on her and pulled the satin carpet from under her feet, she fell. With no desire to rise again.
So one day, she saw, this adamant prince, who kept fighting happiness. And love. And she screamed, He's such a fool. So like me. And then she realised, he was like her, except for the fact that with every blow life dealt him, his heart had grown harder, and had finally turned to stone. And that moment she realized why they both were alike. The darkness in his heart plagued him so much that he found it impossible to forgive himself. That, was his curse. She cried for him, and she cried for herself. She found out that deep inside her, she still believed. And so began her redemption.
Her story doesn't end here. On the way, she met another character, a princess. A poor princess. Now this princess was everything our adamant hero wasn't. She was a woman who believed in goodness, with every fibre of her being. She wasn't strong. In fact you could call her a coward.
But her faith was tremendous. She believed she could melt the prince's heart. She was the hope he'd lost somewhere in the deep pool of despair. She was the love he'd locked away in a hundred lifetimes. She was all the happiness,all the dreams he'd shared with the stars. And she was back, to take his hand and lead him to life. She laughed at fate, and fought it all the way. Her optimism scared him, but she just wouldn't give up. And no matter what he did, she smiled. The poisoned darts of hatred couldn't stop her for she was immune.
Now when our girl saw this poor princess, she cried, Oh no no, this is exactly how i was, once upon a time. That was when it struck her, that this was exactly how she was meant to be after all. She was meant to be kind and happy and giving. For goodness is often underrated.
So, as the girl joined the prince of darkness and his princess of light in their journey, she discovered something amazing. They weren't two, but one. She couldn't make out where one ended and the other began. She smiled as she realized that darkness, and light were both her.
And that, my friends is the story of my life!:P
