&quot;love is love&quot;<br /> &quot;You can&#039;t have a happy ending without a tragic begining, but the best part of the story is the middle.&quot; <br /> &quot;Great men fall in the fire it is the honor lesser men to light the flames no matter the cost&quot;

Yes I am a princess
But I don't need prince to be a queen

Yes I may be trapped
But I don't need anyone to rescue me

Yes I am a girl
But I am not a dimsal in distress

Yes I have a dragon
But I am my own knight in shinning amor

Yes I may be sweet and innocent
But my wicked ways and cold heart keep you at bay

Yes I have hurt others
But I not designed for much else

Yes I am looking for love
But I don't need you for a happy ever after

We tend to hurt the ones we love and sometimes we don't realize that problem isn't always with other but also oursleves. Somtimes we're the monters.

Oooh! Love the statements; they're like this dramatic slap to the face! "Yes I am looking for love, But I don't need you for a happy ever after". Very well written in declarations!
