a time to let go

after a long time of agony, the princess got tired of holding on..
of feeling the pain..
of seeing her prince with another girl..
of drowning into tears every night..
of dreaming that one day, she could be in his arms again..

she had long prepared herself for letting her prince go..
for letting go of the few memories she had shared with him..
for the endless pain that she might feel once she let him go..

but when she finally had the courage to turn her back on him..
she realized that her readiness for letting him go could never be enough..
especially when it is coupled by the fact that she can never be the happiness he is looking for..
and yeah, with the realization that their fairy tale never really existed..
