Some Kind Of Temptation

A Love That Was More Than Love

"My Sweet Girl ~

I wish I was telling you this in person. I wish there was a way I could turn the clock back and change things, or just freeze time so this next part doesn't have to happen.

Looking back, from the moment we first kissed, the universe turned the hourglass and our time has been running away without us knowing. Now I see it and it is too late. I've been trying desperately to cling on but those grains of sand are trickling through my fingers and the more I frantically try and stop it the faster it slips away.

There was no happily ever after for us, El ~ not this way. Whichever way we turned it, whichever way we tried to pretend it would work, people like us don't get their fairytale. I wish it weren't true.

I have to leave town. There's no other way around it. I love you more than I can ever express ~ I hope you know that. I can't explain now other than this is the best thing I can possibly do for you. I hope one day our paths will cross again and I can make all this make sense then.

Until then, sweet girl, please don't try to make sense of this, don't blame yourself. You have done nothing wrong. NOTHING. You are destined to light the whole world on fire, and just know that I will be with you every step, watching from wherever I am. If I can find a way back to you, I swear to you I will.

I'm getting rid of my phone and leaving my apartment today ~ by the time you read this I will be gone. Don't try to find me.

You are the best thing that ever happened to me, Elizabeth. I wouldn't change a moment with you.

Forgive me.

To the end of the Earth ~

   Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee."
