A little fairy tale before bedtime ;)


Once upon a time in a far away land lived a little girl called Bella. Bella lived with her parents and four brothers and two dogs. She also had grandparents who lived closeby who doted on her.
Bella had a very happy life over all. She had love in her and was surrounded by love.....
The years went by and time moved on, Bella left home to conquer the big bad world.

At first it didnt seem so bad, she made new friends and met new people and saw new things. The world tasted, smelt, looked, sounded and felt amazing! Everyday was an adventure for our Bella! And one day Bella met a prince.....lets call him Prince Enigma. From the very day she met him she knew there was something different about him. And she even tried to stop the inevitable. But you cant stop fate when it sets itself in motion, dear Bella.

So Bella fell in love with the prince. Oh he was handsome, he was. His very smile brightened up her world. And Bella loved him. Time went by and Bella was still enchanted by the prince, but with times passage came revelations for she learned that her beloved prince had lied to her. But Bella loved him and believed that love conquered all. And yet more time passed, and still her love for the prince continued to deepen. Just the thought of him made her heart burst with joy. For Bella loved the prince. So purely, so unconditionally, so completely.....For love conquers all.

but what Bella didnt know is that as her love for the prince deepened she was losing a part of herself. Deep down inside she knew the prince didnt love her. Love doesnt lie. love doesnt cheat. but Bella couldnt bring herself to accept this. She had waited her whole life for the right man, wasnt this him? wasnt this Prince the man she had waited for all her life?
Maybe if she loved him a little bit more it would be better. Maybe if she showed him how much she loved him he would realise that she was the one he should be with. but Bella was on the wrong path, for true love doesnt have to try. It just is.

There was nothing Bella wouldnt do for the Prince, she loved him, she made sacrifices for him. And still he let her wither. And all along it was bringing her down. Bit by bit, everyday she was withering. The spring in her step was disappearing, her shine was fading.....but still she loved the Prince.

One day it all ended. Bella and the Prince ended their love. She was devastated. She had lost the great love. But Bella loved the Prince still. For love is not selfish. If it meant losing him forever so he could be happy, Bella was willing to make the sacrifice. For in her world loving someone means making sure they are happy even if it means taking youself out of their lives.

She never thought she would smile again. How could she smile when her great love was gone? She thought she could never laugh again. How could she laugh when she couldnt be with her great love again? It was all gone. Every moment she had spent with the Prince meant nothing, and as he carried on with his life she tried to move on. But Bella loved the prince still.

Over time she began to heal, but not once did she forget the Prince. She never forgot how he had made her feel. She never forgot how he made her laugh. She went to new lands and met new people. She started new chapters in her life. She smiled again, she laughed again. She blossomed into the woman she was meant to be.

And yet in spite of everything the Prince had done to her, she loved him still. She wondered where he was, if he was happy, if he had found whatever he was looking for, if he had ever really loved her, if he had just used her, if she would ever love again, if she could ever love again.
And still Bella loved the Prince.....

......to be continued
