To my most beloved friend & lover, Prince Joseph,
I am writing this letter in my very best cursive handwriting. To you, it may not even be decipherable. Some of the words may be blurred beyond recognition, because I am crying whilst I write. There may be tears and such, because I’m afraid it is very windy where I am and the wind is blowing my paper everywhere, causing me to run after it and tear the page trying to catch it.
I have loved you from the first day I met you, way back when. I’m not even sure you remember. We were at the beach, and I had just made the most beautiful sand castle, and you stomped on it. I was crushed. I’ll never forget what you said, “You don’t need a castle to show that you’re a princess. I can see that just by looking at you, because you’re pretty, and princesses are pretty.” At the age of five, you had already mastered the art of pick-up lines.
By nineteen, you were a superstar. I never forgot about you, but I’m sure you forgot me. Finally, I attended a concert and made sure to get Meet & Greet passes. I soon found myself in your presence once again. I whispered to you, “Do you remember me?” You looked at me like I was the craziest thing you’d ever seen. I said to you, “When you were five, you kicked over my sand castle and told me I didn’t need a castle to prove I was a princess, because I already looked like one.” Your face lit up like a supernova. I’ll never forget that.
It made me sad when you started dating other girls. I hated seeing pictures of you with them, or hearing about you two as a couple. I hoped and prayed that you remembered me and that I would hold a special place in your heart, as you do in mine.
Then the news came out that the band was taking a break. I tracked you down. And, sure enough, you still remembered me. So we dated. You made me happier than I’ve ever been, and will ever be. For that, I thank you.
But now I’m sure you are wondering why you are reading this letter, and not simply speaking to me in person. My dearest Joseph, I regret to inform you, there has been a death.
The reason it is so windy where I am, is because I am on the roof of a building. It’s higher off the ground than I had imagined. As I peer over the edge, I promise to close my eyes and picture you while I fall.
Have you figured it out yet?
I’m sorry I have to do this to you. I’m afraid there are no options. I can’t go on living like this anymore. I love you, I really do. Please do not blame yourself. The reason for my doing this is simple. This world is messed up. I’m going to a better place; a place where everything is bliss. Promise to meet me there someday?
I promise to wait for you. Your princess shall be waiting for you. Never forget that she loves you with all her heart. She wishes she could stay, but there is a better place that is calling for her. She will see you there someday.
You and your princess will spend eternity together.
My love, I wish you all the best. Please do not ever forget me. You are my forever love. And although we may be apart, I shall forever be in your heart.
You are the only one who truly takes my breath away.
All my love,
Princess Ellie
