I feel the numbness wash over me as I walk away from it all. A sense of finality runs through me as I know that this is the last time, there's no going back. I've made my choice, whether for good or not is yet to be seen, and I ignore the cries of sorrow as I walk away, out of the door and into a new life.
The air is cold, and the streets around me silent, as if in mourning of something lost, left behind, forgotten. I ignore the fact that I have no jacket and embrace the cold into my limbs. It feels like my heart.
Without her I am nothing, an emotionless zombie. But to leave and not feel is better than to stay and hurt. I should have known it was never meant to be; that she would be destined to be with him, but that didn't stop me wanting. I cannot remember our past life, a time of peace and happiness, a time when I served her.
It was doomed from the beginning, but we didn't let that stop us. A forbidden love, a princess and her protector, a betrayal of destiny. We thought we could change it, that true love conquers all. But we were wrong. She's fated to be with her prince, and nothing that either of us can do will change that.
I do not have the power to change our destiny, but I do have the power to walk away, to make certain that even though I may not be happy the Earth will be at peace. Time will only tell whether this is the right path for me, us, but as I walk out of sight I promise not to forget the past, but to hope for a better future.
