I was born from chaos
For a life of blood and war,
Of loneliness and duty.
They envy the power
That flows through my veins
To a heart seldom used
And forgotten.

You were born from joy
For a life of freedom and mischief,
Of responsibility, but only
When you were ready for it,
For the crown was never heavy
When your family helped share
The burden.

We fell in love in a dream,
In a kiss on a bed of purple petals,
In a collision of duty and freedom,
Watching our shadows rise and fall,
As I promised you my heart
That now beats for you and a future,
Real and golden.

Inspired by the Chinese drama, “Eternal Love of Dream”, aka my current obsession. The fangirl is still in love.
