A/n: This is a sad one that came to me while listening to country songs. See if you can guess who this is about before the end!

They took her away from me. They took her away from and I don't know why. They took her away to punish me. They took her away from me in the cruelest way possible. They took her away by her own hand.

I'll never understand why. Maybe it was because I wasn't good enough. I wasn't good enough for her. Were any us of truly good enough? I didn't deserve her. None of us deserved her. She was too good and deserved far better than anything that we could have given her. I don't even deserve to be in the same room with her. And yet she loved me. Loved me with her whole goddamn huge heart. A heart that was so big it could have loved the entire city. She could have chosen anyone to love and yet she chose me.

God knew there had to be better candidates than me for her to bestow her love upon. But in the end she told me that she wanted me and not the others. Instead saying that my heart belonged to her from the minute we met and the first word out of my mouth was "why?" I then continued to tell her that for the good of the team that we couldn't be together, it would cause chaos. And it was too dangerous because any villain would be able to use her against me and I couldn't stand to see her hurt.

And in saying such simple words I hurt her even more than any crazes criminal could. I loved her and I turned her away. Spurned her so that world would never know that a heart beat behind this exterior. I shattered the good in her, the flame that had once burned so bright. Extinguished by a meaningless kiss to a girl who meant absolutely nothing. A mere mortal in comparison to the goddess I knew. I threw away a princess and took into my arms a common whore who wanted nothing more than to say that she had shared the bed of a hero. And in an act of something so simple as a kiss, I killed her.

No that isn't what did it. But the hundreds after that one did. Each time I gave a hug, autograph, or picture she died a little more inside. Because they all got a little part of me, when I couldn't even give her the tiniest piece of my heart, when she had given the whole of hers to me. Until there was nothing left but a shell, a meager shadow of what had once been so magnificent. She had been my world and reason for living. But denying her the one thing that she had ever truly wanted was the cruelest thing I ever did.

I was her friend instead of lover, her comrade instead of companion, her leader instead of worshipper. The life force that had seemed unstoppable was now ground out. I had destroyed their greatest creation, so they took her away from me forever. I will never again get to see her rise to meet the morning sun, fight beside her in battle, or just be in awe of just how truly good she was. But most of all I will never again get to see her happy face, hear her soft voice, or hold her against me for one tender moment. They took her away from me. They took her away from me and I know why. It was because I had already killed her. I was never able to say four small words. But here they are and they far too late.

"I love you Starfire."

A/n: Was it who you thought it was? It could have been anybody but in the end I decided to make a Robin/Starfire. If you think this should be continued let me know. Because I have another one of these for a different set of characters so if anyone is interested let me know. As always Read, Review and Enjoy!! Love, Saylin
