I'll Never Forget

Achilles…
There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you.
Although, we only knew each other for such a short time I felt that I had known you for an eternity.
I think of what could have been if we had left together like you had suggested.
You promised you would leave the war in Troy behind if I were to go with you.
I chose to leave willingly.
Even though, I knew I would be leaving my family and the country that I loved so much behind.
However, fate had other plans for us.
Despite the tragedies that followed afterwards.
I never stopped loving you for a moment.
True I was afraid at first.
However, you showed me there was nothing to fear.
You saved me when I could not save myself.
Yet we both grieved later at the loss of family.
Although, we could not comfort one another at that time because things between us had become a bit strained.
When the time came, you chose for me to go with my family.
Even though, I had chosen to leave with you.
You gave me a second chance to be free again.
Even if, I had never been a captive of war, I would have been just a captive in your heart and you too my soul.
I missed being near you all those moment afterwards.
I never wanted to forget your touch.
The feel of your lips on my lips, your skin on my skin that is what I have been thinking about since then.
Even now after so long.
Since that night between you and me, nothing ever was the same for me again.
Some part of me had become unearthed.
Feelings that I never felt before were raging like a storm.
I have tried since then to move on.
For I know you would not want me to spend the rest of my life in grief or crying for you. However I cannot stop.
The tears still fall.
The pain is still fresh like an open wound that does not want to heal.
I lost you that night when Troy burned to the ground.
You died in my arms.
I know that the last vision you wanted to have of me was with tears in my eyes.
However, I was crying for you.
For once, I cursed the gods for parting us this way.
Just when I had found happiness in life and you had found peace.
The gods see it fit to part us until the time I could join you in the afterlife.
Until then my heart only belongs to you.
No one else can have this place.
Some have tried but all just fail.
My cousin says I need to move on.
However, he does not understand that the person I love has gone.
While he can be happy, I am still in transition of accepting what has truly happened.
Nevertheless, I will live on for you.
For I know that someday…
One day…
We will be together again.
Until then I will never forget you.
Never…ever!
