She was 19…
He was 17
But they were in love
Well at least she thought it was
He was the sparkle in her eyes
She was the smile on his face
But they were doomed from the beginning
Her heart was lost with her last love
He was trying to give her his
But by doing so he... himself would be lost
He would try and show her that love still exists in the world
Yet in her eyes everything she touched got destroyed
She tried telling him why she couldn’t give her all to him
But he wouldn’t let it stay so black and white
The innocence of his love was so pure and untouched
She didn’t want to be the one to ruin such beauty
So she said her goodbyes
He knew this was coming
He saw the goodbye in her eyes long ago
She had tears rolling down her face so gracefully
It was movie perfect and felt just as unreal as one
She knew he would always be there for her
And he would never give up on getting her heart
So she knew just what she had to do to save him
A month later she was found in a flowing white dress hanging from her porch
He followed her the same night
Without knowing what the other was doing they wrote letters to one another explaining it all.
She wrote:
My knight in shining armor,
I care so much for you, but I can’t have what happened to me happen to you. I love you too much to continue hurting you just to save myself. You are pure and untouched, and I am damaged and dead inside. There is no saving me, so since you have done all you can to show your love it’s my turn to show mine. I need to leave this earth so you can start again.
I will love you forever and even though I will no longer exist our love will.
With never ending love,
Your one and only Queen

My Queen,
I know you think by leaving me is saving me, but I don’t want to be saved… all I want, I mean need, from you is your presence in my life. You have my heart even though I might not have yours. But when you feel that empty hole in your chest I want you to think of me and feel warm once again. You are my world so without you I have nothing to live for. I will always love you.
With never ending love,
Your knight in shining armor
