When I was a little boy, my mom told me about a beautiful princess, waiting for a knight to rescue her.
I used to think about that princess a lot. Whether she felt lonely as she waited. Whether I could be good enough for her, as brave as she deserved.
How it would feel to find her and realize that I had finally done something right.
In the fairy tales, the knight never needs rescuing. He never loses the battles and breaks up with the princesses before things get too serious. He doesn’t catch himself checking out the other knights’ asses and have a panic attack under his bed.
The real knights and their princesses have moved on to happily ever after, but I’m still here, searching for you. All I’ve ever wanted was to find the place where you have waited for so, so long, to hold you close and say, “I’ve come to take you home, after all this time.”
If only the stories had a place for people like us.
