Lady Mary's mind

I never thought he would become the past...

Again,time move on and you know the story. It all ended happily eventually. I had experienced true love. I married him. I remember everything so distinctly. He wrapped his arms around me each night protectively and I would awake to a kiss. A reminder that he loved me. Lavinia still haunted our arguments; but this time love overpowered that. I remember walking with him, seeng his smile as he'd tease me and run up from behind me to shock me. We'd double over laughing. He'd place a flower in my hair and I'd ruffle his, which shone gold in the morning sun. He would wrap his arms around my waist and tell me he didn't know it was possible to love as much as he loved me. He was the one person who didn't see the cold hearted me, or basically reality. I remember twirling around until midnight on the polished floors of ballrooms with my prince, his arms securely around me. The way he'd laugh when he surprised me with a kiss at the end of each dance. The way he'd charmingly hand me a rose, saying I was every bit as beautiful as that rose. These memories made me laugh. I never thought I would cry when I remembered them. I never thought I would speak of him in past tense because I never thought he would become the past.
