If you're looking for a love story, you've come to the wrong place. This story may start with love but it ends with a tragedy far worse than that which you'll find in Romeo and Juliet or any other of Shakespeare's renowned works. For, although the story of Romeo and Juliet ends in the death of two lovers, they died for their love. In this story, they lived on, but only at the price of losing their love. If you're reading this thinking you'll find a great story of adventure with pirates and gold and romance, you're right. But if you're expecting it to have a happy ending, you'll be greatly disappointed. Real life doesn't typically have happy endings. And though this story doesn't seem like it is real, just trust me – it is. I'll turn it over now to those who have the right to be telling this story but I did warn you.
