You once tempted me with the chance to be with you, but I need more than just a night here or there, always wondering if and when we will be found out. It is not a way I had ever imagined living nor would I ever live such a life.

While I may never be able to stop loving you, I know we can never be together, even though you will your heart's desires into life. We were simply born into the wrong class, at the wrong time, but I will never regret knowing you.

I may not be able to be near you without longing for you, I will never besmirch your name and all that you have done. You, who have captured my wild heart, have captured the love of the people. A king who puts the needs of his people is to be admired and loved by all.

The daily life and emotions of one insignificant Rider should not concern to her king nor will you ever know how much I love you.

My heart's desires and wishes will be buried deep within me so that I can stand proud and tall in your presence.

You deserve that much.
