If you ever loved a prince

If you ever loved a prince
You remember that cold beauty
Those tempting arrogant lips
And eyes full of self confidence

You remember that lion's pride
Those movements of a falcon
Careless way of talking

You remember those perfect manners
Cold politness and bitter arrogance
Sharp tongue and deep cleverness
His every word sending shivers down your spine

If you ever loved a prince
Tell me how many times you had to step over your pride
And how strong your heart beated
When you finally received from him a sign of attention

And how many times you felt that wild indignation
When he left whenever he wanted
Never asking your opinion

If you ever loved a prince
You remember the riot of your ambitions
While being a mirror for someone who seemed ideal

And you know that acute pain of being ignored
You know that mix of resistance and admiration
Fighting inside you
You know how hard it is to disdain someone
Who seems to be higher than stars

You know those eternal tries to do your best
To seem better than you are, to be perfect in his eyes
To become worth being with him

If you ever loved a prince
You know how does it feel, to lose your individuality
While trying to reach the sky
You know the feeling of being not good enough

How often you felt offended and wanted to quit
But his beauty and unconquered spirit
Made you stay against your own will

You know how it is, to try everything
To not give up and to keep your hope for so long
You know the desperation of stepping over yourself

If you ever loved a prince
You realized and learnt many things
Grew to understand that your blood
Was as blue as anyone's else
You just still had some warmth and care inside

If you ever loved a prince
You remember that joy, peace and freedom
When you finally left
