SUMMARY: Wistful thoughts about a lost knight.
ENTRY
Knights were supposed to don cruel black armor.
They were supposed to come in at the last minute to tear apart the human and save the damsel in distress. That was the way things were supposed to go! I read so many books about it, I consider myself an expert on the subject when it comes to the ultimate goal for true love.
But there is a knight out there, and he wears white. No armor, or magical powers, just a man in white with a bow. It's weird, but that's okay. He's there, watching over us, protecting us from what lies beyond that terrible house. Protecting me.
I used to meet him often, though usually in secret. At first it was just a coincidence, but the more we spoke the more I wanted to know more about him, and began to arrange 'chance' meetings. I would act all surprised to hear his voice, and he would be surprised to see me, but he would be happy too, because it meant we could talk again. It was nice to have a friend, even if his work meant I couldn't tell anyone that I saw him. It was our little secret. Maybe that was what made it so appealing to me, a secret relationship with an older man! It is all very scandalous but in the best of always. They always made the best stories to me...and I got to live it!
But then I started to dream about him. I dreamt that he came to my prom, cloaked and hidden, just to see me in my prom dress. He said he couldn't resist sneaking out to see what I was wearing, because he knew it would be beautiful. I don't know where my date was, during all this, but it didn't matter, because my knight was right there. I dreamt I asked him for a kiss, but before our lips could touch, I woke up.
The next time I saw him, I wanted to tell him. I really did. I wanted to be bold like those ghouls I read about in my favourite novels, and ask for a kiss from the handsome knight. But, instead, he told me something terrible.
The King he served was cruel, and found out about our little meetings. We are supposed to be enemies, he said, but I couldn't believe him. He was my knight! The man who saved me so many times with the strength of his bow. My knight, who spoke to me softly as if we were sharing a secret, so close I could feel his breath on me. He said that our meetings had to end. I had to promise to try and stay easy from our meeting places, or else the King might make him do something terrible or worse, do something terrible to him. He had already risked enough, but the danger was getting too real.
He didn't say it, but I know he did it because he loves me. This was when I realized he was my knight. My brave, selfless knight. He made me promise, though it broke my heart.
I want to go and see him again, but if know I can't. Not anymore. My knight in weird white cloth is the one in danger now, and I know that the further away from him I am the safer he will be. They can't hurt him this way, and they can't make him hurt me. It's for the best. I know it is. But hurts, and I miss him.
Maybe one day, when the king is overthrown, we can be together again.
Maybe I can get that kiss one day.
