That’s when we realised things would never be the same… We just stood there, staring across the room at each other. Neither of us could move. The crowd disappeared into the walls. The clocks stopped ticking. We moved closer. I couldn’t speak. Her face filled my mind, pushing old visions aside. The world was spinning faster than ever. My heart pounded in my chest, aching to break free. I couldn’t believe it. Just five minutes before I was down and out, with nothing left to live for, with no one left to fight for. But now my world was filled with colour.
We kissed.
Not a word had been spoken. There was nothing we could do. We kissed again. The world sparkled and shone. There was no one alive but us.
I asked her name.
My world was shattered. People jumped at me from the dull walls of the room. My beautiful white swan had turned into dark black crow. How could this be? The only person I wanted to love, and I was prevented from loving her. She was called away and I slipped away into the party, afraid of being unmasked. But I went back later and saw her again.
She told me there was nothing in her name – that it meant nothing to her. I knew my father would not see things the same as her or I.
Now I am forced to love her in secret – I have been cast away from her side for reasons I cannot justify. I only hope that she does not love me as much as she has told me, for if she does she will be in a place worse than hell. At least that way we would be together. Sometimes I wish I were dead, there is no life without her. I am merely present in a black abyss of misery and pain.
I have enlisted the help of a friend to try and get us back together. I don’t know how all this is going turn out? I blame my parents, they’ve always been stubborn.
