There was a girl who wandered alone in the world for far too long. She came across a prince dressed in paupers clothes, she was so taken with this kind and intelligent man she had to stop her travels to spend some time with him. Feeling a warmth eminating from deep inside her heart she couldn't leave his presence. She thought "I will just stay a while" not wanting to leave for fear of losing this feeling that was so strange to her. Something she knew she had felt before but couldn't remember when or why.
She stayed longer than she knew to be right, she knew that this was wrong, this wasn't the man she was looking for, he was different than her mind had told her would be right. She thought it best to move on and tried to get up and walk away but somehow she was powerless to move away, her feet feeling so heavy as she tried to leave. Very soon she realized it was not her feet that were heavy but her heart, so she turned to see if He was still there, and he was, holding out his hand, and asking her to come to him, to share more time with him. She took his hand and again sat beside him, not thinking anymore about the road she had been walking down, and noticing that the path had disappeared and a new one had opened, this new path being over the man's shoulder.
She asked "is that your path kind sir?" He answered "no, my path has also disappeared, that is our's that lays over there. I don't know where it leads. only that it is not a smooth road, it will be rocky, but together we can maneuver anything that we encounter as long as we are walking side by side. Will you walk with me my fair lady?'
The girl was afraid, very afraid, but she could see no other path and knew that his words were right, they could with focus and work move along, seeing new scenery, things she nor he had ever seen or experienced before. She could see in his eyes that he truly wanted to walk with her, but could also see that he only wanted that if it was what would make her truly happy. He waited for her to answer.
She said nothing but simply took his hand and looked at him with pleading eyes, eyes that said yes i will take a chance, please lead me I am not strong enough to walk next to you yet. He gently kissed her forehead took her hand and began down the path.
They have now walked for a year, she stronger now, and at his side. They have discovered things on this path that neither thought existed.
This tale does not yet have an end, though i know one day it will, though i trust the tale will end after a lifetime together, O/our life
