Prologue
I stared up at the moon. The silver light pooled around me, and I closed my eyes. I let myself drown in it.
As much as I wanted to feel complete, I couldn't fool myself. I was alone. Always alone. The moon was my only friend, and even she abandoned me during the day.
I hugged my knees to my chest and let my eyes wander through the forest. The moonlight cast everything into shadows.
On an impulse, I jumped onto a tree, and climbed with ease, closer to the moon.
Closer to the source of light. The only light.
As I reached the final branch, the wind whipped through my hair. I leaned into it, felt its caress.
I can't tell you how long I stayed there, one with the night. Alone with my thoughts. Still to the wind.
Trying, always trying to mend my broken heart.
To rid myself of thoughts of you.
I wished a tear would leak down my cheek. I wish I could fall, and be able to take my life. But I can't.
My very existence is for you. Yet you no longer exist for me.
How can I forget you, when I think of what could have been?
How cruel. That I survive, endlessly, while your life was cut short. I tried to hold on to you. And you left. No, you were pulled away.
I will wait for you. One day, I will die. I will find a way to. And we will be together. We need to be together.
Until then, my love. I continue to go on, living this damned existence. Without you.
Forever, without you.
