Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily 
You found a new girl, andit only took a couple weeks 

Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world

It stung. It really did. 

I was busy trying to arrange plans for new renovations for New Hyrule when I saw the latest Castle Town news. 

"The divorce between our resident hero Link and our princess has been finalized as Link moves in with new girlfriend Malon-"

I couldn't read anymore. 

I felt tears trickle down my face. It hadn't even been a couple weeks before he moved on! 

What about all the plans we had made? What about all the love we shared? Was every moment a lie?

(Name), I wanna let you know just how I feel 
But it looks like you've been captured again 
So I'll get up, leave my friends 
Come to save you once again 
'Cause you know that I'd do anything for you 
I'd run the water temple blindfolded for you 

Fast-forward, and Ganondorf is dead, the world is saved, 
And my name has been immortalized, 

But I couldn't be more sad
'Cause we're just friend, still the same

It all feels like just a game
'Cause you're the wind that guides my sailcloth down to earth, 
You're the Anju to my Kafei, for all it's worth

'Cause (Name), what I'm trying to say 
Is that you're the missing piece of heart I can never seem to claim

Was that song you wrote for me a lie? Were the words you spoke to me at the alter a lie too? Was everything a lie. 

Did you ever really love me, Link? Or was it just some cruel joke?

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy 
Not me, if you ever cared to ask 
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby 
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom 
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it 
But I guess good for you

The more I thought about it, the more it hurt. 

Link and I had been together for years and happily married, yet he. left me without even a doubt. Seriously, the slightest misstep and he ran out the doors to his ex-girlfriend Malon. 

Maybe if I hadn't yelled at him this wouldn't have happened? Maybe if I was prettier he wouldn't have left. 

Was that it? Is there something about Malon that makes her better than me?

Link always called me paranoid whenever I brought her up. I just didn't like that hey hung out so much. I didn't want to be that possessive or controlling girlfriend but it mad eye feel insecure. Whenever Link wasn't with me he was with Mason, and sometimes he would leave me just to see her. 

Was I too controlling? 

I think deep down I knew that he still had feelings for him. I never said anything though because I didn't want to lose him. He was the best thing to ever happen to me. 

Link was my first love. Everyone before whims ere just arranged relationships via mt father wanting alliances. Link was the first person who wanted and loved the real me not just the princess that everyone else saw. I thought he really loved me. I thought he really was the one. 

Months have gone by now since I found out. I see Link and Malon all the time. They seem so happy, and I can't help but feel like he's so much happier with her. 

What does she have that I don't? Was wasn't he as happy with me?

All these thoughts drove me crazy. I spent most of my time trying to distract myself with my duties as the ruler of Hyrule, but when I was given even the smallest amount of time to myself the thoughts came back. 

I would tear apart myself berating every little detail I could have done better. 

I just didn't understand how Link could have moved on so quickly when the breakup absolutely destroyed me in every way. I felt like I would never love again. I was letting my sorrow eat me alive while Link didn't even bother to look my way anymore. 

What was wrong with me?

Maybe I'm too emotional
But your apathy is like a wound in salt

Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all

Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
