From the moment I saw you my soul told me you were supposed to be mine.
So foolishly I fell, not thinking about the consequences. Quickly it seemed like I was on a quest to please you, but I loved you and I would always love you. For that reason I put myself in more pain than I thought possible.
I fought the biggest monsters, swam through the rapid waters, and my heart was cut a few times in the process. All this I did in the name of our love, in the name of us, and all I asked in return was you.
I gave you my heart in a beautiful wrapped box with a tag written, “yours.” I loved you with every being of me. I slayed the dragons but took the heat of the fire too. At times things were magical like something out of a fairytale, so unreal. You were Romeo and I was Juliet, but somewhere in all that passion tragedy was our destiny. Forever seemed like such a good idea, but now we know forever is a lifetime and more. Like Romeo and Juliet, tragedy would end our story, but I would not be the one to take my own life. You would be the one to end my life, stab me in the heart, and leave me there to die. After how far I came, all the things I went through, how could you deny my? Who would have thought you would be the one to murder me in cold blood, to pierce my heart, and leave my love bleeding on the floor. You were supposed to be my soul mate. We were supposed to be together forever. With my last breath I whispered “I love you.”
Who would have thought my forever would end so soon?
