Princess of China —

7 • 13 • 23

She was the Princess of China—a vision of ethereal grace, her countenance as delicate as the finest porcelain. Her raven tresses cascaded down her back, framing a face adorned with almond-shaped eyes that held a depth capable of ensnaring the hearts even the most steadfast souls. With a regal air that surrounded her, she moved with an elegance that seemed to belong to a realm untouched.

That night.

With a winsome smile and sparkling eyes, she possessed an eagerness for life and a penchant for matchmaking.

Now, a gentleman, laid eyes on the Princess of China, captivated by her hazel eyes he had ever beheld. It was not very long until his thoughts were consumed by her. He imagined the sound of her laughter, delicate and melodious.

Visions of strolling through the imperial gardens of her homeland danced through his mind. Yet, these dreams were but ethereal illusions, for how could a lowly gentleman ever hope to capture the heart of a princess?

Though the princess was dressed with radiant smile, silky gowns, and glowing beauty, the princes and kings were only reaching the superficial, for they were not noble enough to see the pain the princess held within. But for the lowly gentleman who once heard the princess cry that one sorrowful evening, he yearned to comfort the princess and embrace her with warm empathy.

Life is but a fleeting dance.

He longed to confess the depths of his admiration, to lay bare his vulnerable heart before her.

But fear clutched his throat, and doubt clouded his mind like a persistent fog.

Time ticked. and he silently yearned for a moment of courage to seize the opportunity that fate had so cruelly placed before him. He would steal glances at her from afar, his heart aching with the weight of unspoken words.

The princess, oblivious to his affection, carried herself with grace and composure, surrounded by admirers befitting her royal status.

So close yet so far

The words he wished to speak remained imprisoned within him, locked away by the shackles of societal expectations and self-doubt. He watched as time slipped through his fingers, stealing away the chances he dared not seized.

The princess continued her noble pursuits, forever beyond his reach.

In the depths of his heart, the gentleman carried the weight of an unconfessed admiration, a secret treasure that burned brighter with each passing day.

Yet, he found solace in the beauty of his unvoiced sentiments, for even in the silence, they held the power to kindle a flame that would forever illuminate the chambers of his soul.

Language of longing and admiration

Though his heart yearned for the princess’ affection, he accepted that some love stories are written in the language of longing and admiration, where words remain unsaid but emotions run deep.

In the quiet recesses of my being, I cherished the memory of the Princess of China. As I gaze upon the stars that mirrored the shimmer in her eyes, I found comfort in the knowledge that sometimes, the most profound love stories are those that remain untold.
