The Queen's Guard (gxg)

A letter to the Queen;

Perhaps in a different life we could be so much more than we are now. It hurts that I must keep my feelings hidden from you, but such is the life of a cursed goddess. Besides, you do not need romance in this very moment, you need support and friendship, all of which I am willing to give to you.

But destiny seems to have a different idea.

I hadn't intended to fall in love with you, after all, I have known you since you were shorter than my knee. If I had any idea that this day would come, I would've take precaution around you, because then, you wouldn't have fallen in love with me either.

Do not worry Raven, I already know, that's how the curse goes. Its a two way street this wretched thing, and the only reason I am gasping for breath, clinging onto life by the tip of my fingers is because you finally admitted your feelings to yourself.

I am sorry to put you through all of this pain, simply thinking about you hurting makes me hate myself, you do not deserve that.

As my last wish, I want you to promise me that you will not mourn my passing, for I have lived a long and fulfilling life on this planet. Thanks to you, the recent years have been more joyful than I could've ever imagined. So please, do not waste your precious tears on me, this is what the gods have intended. I know you, and I know that you will try and prevent this from happening, but I've specifically requested for the guards to keep you inside the palace no matter what. I don't want you to see me like this, weak and vulnerable.

My life is in forfeit, for falling in love is both a cure and a disease.

Please remember me with a smile on your face, because you always looked so beautiful smiling at what you loved.

I shall love you from now, until eternity, My Darling.
