more than a little waltzing and circling.

out of nowhere a knight appears on a white horse, declares that he has finally found the ONE he had been searching for all his life and promises to take care of the princess for the rest of her life.at this juncture the princess is SUPPOSED to be completely swept off her feet and throw caution to the winds, agree to get onto the white horse and they elope into the glorious happily-ever-after.

but of course, the princess is less than perfect, and is always torn between what OTHER people say is right, what she wants to do, and her deepest fears and insecurities. how do you know if this is the One? Is this too good to be true and there's a catch somewhere that this knight might wave goodbye when shit happens or passion cools off? she wants to throw everything into the wind, but everything ends up being flung in her face as her uncontrollable whims and fancies changes direction.

to cut the long story short, the prncess said yes, then no, yes, no and a half yes-no in the span of 2 weeks. the poor knight holds back his brimming tears with every heartbreak and healing, pulling himself together through the entire roller coaster ride. the princess is all too painfully aware that her constant yo-yoing can break the knight's heart once and for all, or to kill any spark of romance that can reside in a love story.

but she truly lacks the courage to say yes or no or even a maybe. as always, her wisdom rarely applies to her personal life, especially in the area of romance. she said wait.. but her actions and heart continue to yo-yo as the knight looks on with considerable trepidation.

does she really not know what she wants?
