Shining Moon
Every night I look up and I say how could I let this happen. Your father trusted me to protect you. He trusted me and I let him down. I couldn't even do that right. I miss you more than you know. Your eyes showed me things I had never seen before. Your voice stirred things in my heart that even I wasn't ready for. Your duty to your people inspired me and your love for me made me love you even more. I guess I really can't blame you for saying no but my heart wishes that yes would have come from your lips. You were my all, my everything, but then reality came back and reminded me that love was not meant to be.
I believed we were meant to be star crossed souls. I was foolish to think that such a thing was possible: A princess and a peasant boy. But now I know better than to believe at first sight what my heart is telling me. Now that I realize that there is no hope for what I wished to happen. I remember an old saying that I heard long ago "To give your heart is to readily invite the possibility of pain". I forgot that saying and I'm paying for it now. I guess I deserve nothing less than what I received but I just wish you could have seen what I had to offer.
I would sit up every night after you were gone missing you so much it would ache. I loved you, I still do. It's ok though I have nothing against you but it's so hard to look up every night and remember the hopes I had and the things I believed could come true. Everything about you was beautiful from your snow white hair, to the way your gentle voice called my name. I know you loved me to. I saw it in your eyes but it could never be. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, what else did I have to live for? Every time the sun drops below the horizon and the stars come out to shine I'm reminded of my failure, I'm reminded of your love.
