A Note From the Author

There will always be a risk, for everything that you do in life. The biggest risk, obviously, is love. I have never dated, or even had remotely romantic feelings towards anyone, yet I know so many people, not just older than me, but my age and younger too, that have already had multiple girlfriends or boyfriends. And I'm only 14. When I think of these people, I always start to wonder what their meaning of love is. Eventually I realized that they probably don't have a meaning for love. And if they do, then they're probably only dating others so they can fit in. Essentially, this story is a love story. Parts may be a little cliché once in a while. But that's not actually the only message in this story however much it may seem that way. This story is supposed to show how love can overcome all odds. But this story also shows how love can be a dangerous, controlling, deadly, delicate, treacherous, and magical thing, that must be handled with great care. It deals with how humans are their own greatest enemies, yet also their greatest heroes. It deals with how the memory is such a powerful thing, and why we need others. But most importantly, this story deals with the power of words, and the importance of our hopes, dreams, and wishes. All I can ask of you as the reader, is to keep these words in mind while you read:

Our actions may speak louder than our words; but it's our thoughts, our secrets, the things we never tell anybody, that truly show who we are.
