Meghan's POV, during Iron Daughter, right at Part 2
It's getting dark and it's all to quiet and I can't trust anything now. And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake. Oh, I'm holding me breath/Won't lose you again. Something's made your eyes go cold!
He left. He left me here, in the dark of the Winter territories. He left me, saying that everything that that had happened between us was a mistake, something that couldn't go on.
But after believing him dead when we journeyed through the Iron Realm, after sobbing for him when I believed I had lost the first person I had ever loved… I can't go through that again. But he doesn't love me anymore - or so he says. All that time in the Iron Realm, when I saw him, and not some mask… he's erased that. He's back to being the cold-hearted Winter Prince I first met.
Stood there and watched you walk away from everything we had, but I still mean every word I say to you.
He left me. I saw him leave me. He left me, left the love that had grown and blossomed between us. But, even though he left me, I still mean it when I told him I loved him. I still mean it.
He will try to take away my pain - and he just might make me smile - but the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead.
And Puck… oh, Puck. He loves me, and he believes that since Ash left me, we can be together now. And even though I love Puck - as my best friend and brother - even though he makes me laugh and smile even in the worse of times… I an never love him, never be with him like I was with Ash. Even that one time, when Puck kissed me… all I could think of was Ash.
Come on, Come on, don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out. Something's gone terribly wrong. You're all I wanted! Come on, come on, don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out. Can't breathe whenever you're gone, can't turn back now, I'm haunted!
What I don't understand is: why? Why did he leave me? The laws of the courts? Was that the only reason? The only excuse? I thought I knew him, after our adventure in the Iron Realm. I thought I figured him out, managed to see through the mask he always fears to protect himself from the cruelties of the Winter Court.
But now, after having a relationship with him… I know I will never forget him. Puck offered to take me back to my mortal life, but… I couldn't do it. I couldn't go back to my normal life, not after experiencing the love that burned bright between us.
You and I walk a fragile line. I have known it all this time. Never thought I'd see it break. Never ever thought I'd see it.
I knew, because of the laws of the courts, our relationship was fragile. If either of us were any less than what we were… if either of us were any more… our relationship wouldn't have worked out, even for the little bit of time it had. But, even for how fragile our relationship was, I never thought we would break up. I never thought… I never thought I'd lose him.
