In a moment he's here and in the next, he's gone. Everyday is like this. My dopamine is secreted at that same moment each time, everyday.
The bell sounds, my cue to advance to my viewing spot at the border before he arrives. He is not the prince in my storybook, nor is he the man of my dreams. He is a wizard, with the appearance of a dragon, that has casted his spell on me without even realizing it and has stolen my heart and placed it in the tallest tower of his castle to be his and his alone. He has charmed me with his eyes and smile; the two I find enchanting. He arrives. My wings twitch as my heart races at his presences. Unbeknownst to him, I am at the same spot as many a times before; the border between Fairy Territory and Dragon Territory. He slows his pace as he waits in line for his rations. The moment is here. My heart feels as though it is going to burst out of my body at any moment and into his possession. My breathing becomes heavy and slowed. My body feels too heavy for my wings to carry. The lore that I have read told me that these are the signs of seeing your one true love. Your knight in shining armor to save you from the tower. Or your prince charming to live happily ever after with. I am not in love with a prince. He has no royal blood, nor is he a knight. No gold on his neck or wrists. No silver in his boots. No jewels intricately sewn in his garments. But he makes me feel as though, one day, he can give me all the riches in the world without buying anything at all. |
