happily ever after

there once was a girl who lived in a tower all alone. she lived there by choice, she was not forced there, she chose a life of isolation. she did not like too many people and had only one friend. she also had a very large heart. she loved to do for people just because when she did nice things it made her feel good. the happiness did not always last however because at night she would lie down in her bed and let her mind wander. she dreamt of the day that she would meet someone as kind as she was, that she could call on when she needed them. right now her life was very much one sided. occasionally her eyes let a tear slip but this was the only sign of a deepening sadness which was welling within her and threatened to outweigh her joy. one night as she lay her raven hair on her pillow and allow her ebony eyes to focus on the ceiling she realized that she didnt do things for people in order to receive things back, however she also decided that when her instincts told her that she was being used that she would pull back. she turned and looked out the window and thought "where will i get the strength to resist what my heart compells me to do?"

where will the strength come from?
