Unlikely Love


Once upon a time, 
Princess Dove lived a life of royalty. 
Once upon a time, 
Queen Cinderella and King Charming protected their little princess. 
Once upon a time, 
Captain Hook left the Jolly Roger. 
Once upon a time, 
An unexpected love began. 
This isn't the life for me,
Dove's thoughts plagued even her dreams. 
And once upon a time,
She sought for something different. 
Vengeance isn't the way to go,
Hook couldn't find a new reason to go on. 
But once upon a time,
He looked for a new one. 
Once upon a time,
A princess ran from her castle. 
Once upon a time, 
A pirate wandered a foreign land. 
Both were taken in by lovely families,
Both in the same small town,
Just outside the kingdom-
Not far from the princess's worrying parents. 
Once upon a time,
The two did anything for the families
Out of gratitude and appreciation-
It meant more than they could express. 
The families who knew the identity
Of neither pirate nor princess. 
Once upon a time,
The two met at a well. 
And once upon a time,
The two began to talk. 
The meetings became daily, 
The fondness became stronger. 
Strangers became friends,
And friends became closer. 
A true love sprouted,
So lovely and sweet,
And soon the two traveled back,
To see the King and Queen. 
Once upon a time,
The princess got her true love. 
And once upon a time,
The villain got his happy ending.
