Basic human nature makes us admire the things we like, and want what we can't have. The more unobtainable the better. Eve would never have tasted the fruit had God not forbade it, and I would never pursue you with so much vigour had your destiny not been preordained.
From the very first moment I saw you, I sensed something different. At the time, I thought you were the carrier of an evil spirit, but now I know the truth. You are the saviour of our world, with outer beauty to match that of your soul. Warmth radiates from you, and your kindness drew me in.
I allowed myself to become attached, to love as I had no other before. I wanted you long before your prince came into the picture. I had him, and then you took him away. Yet that was not the reason for my jealousy.
Seeing you together made my body ache. He could touch you the way I wanted, taste your lips like I had imagined in my dreams. You thought I wanted him, and I still laugh at the irony. He was nothing but a passing interest, and you are a permanent fixture.
Whenever I am by your side I crave to touch you as a lover. Instead I take the role of best friend, so close and yet so far. Sometimes I think you have the same feelings. I feel your touch on my skin, longer than expected, but you always pull away before I can do anything.
Do you know what you do to me? I don't think so, but sometimes, when I allow myself to hope, I can imagine that you feel the same longing. Were I not so protective of your happiness I would have taken steps to stop your relationship a long time ago. But I know that it would cause you as much pain as it would me happiness, and that makes me stop.
I can't have you, but that doesn't make me stop wanting it.
