Think of Me
The sun was just about to set. Gemma Doyle stood next to the man who had been assigned to protect her, Kartik. Gemma looked down at the ring on her hand.
Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye.
Gemma looked up at Kartik. He looked down at her, a little sad.
Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try.
The ring that was on her finger was a rather large diamond, with a golden band. The diamond was twinkling in the light of the setting sun.
When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back
and be free - if you ever find a moment spare a thought for me...
"So, this is it?" she said under her breath. Gemma's red locks contrasted brilliantly next to Kartik's dark hair.
We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea - but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me...
Kartik just kept staring at the sun. He didn't want tomorrow to come. The ring on Gemma's hand just kept glittering.
Think of all the things we've shared and seen -
Gemma and Kartik had a very complicated relationship. He had been assigned to protect her by the Rashkana when her mother had been murdered on her 16th birthday.
Don't think about the things which might have been...
Gemma felt tears running down her face.
Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Gemma knew the rest of her life would be difficult, with Kartik always haunting her thoughts, always in her mind.
Recall those days, look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do - there will never be a day, when
I won't think of you ...
Kartik and Gemma gave each other one last look.
We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea - but please promise me,
that sometimes, you will think of me!
And Gemma headed off, for she was to wed Simon Middleton the next day.
