We knew it wasn't going to be easy.

That our love could start a war.

That my family might not accept the idea of us.

But we never even got the chance to find out...

Because everything's been ripped away from me.

And all I'm left with is the memory of his touch and secrets that are threatening to break me from the inside out.

Everyone tries keep me together as my entire world falls apart.

But it's never going to be enough.

Nothing ever will be. Without him.

All I can do is hold onto the shattered pieces and try to find a way to make my damaged heart beat again.

I finally get what I always wanted- a chance to decide my own future. But I didn't know this legacy would cost me everything.

I would give it all back, to be in his arms again...
