He carefully placed the rose beside her head and bent down, letting his lips linger upon her forehead. This was his good-bye to her, he wasn’t good enough for her and never would be. As he stood up a few tears fell from his eyes and landed upon her cheek. With a heavy heart he turned and began walking towards the door. “ Please do not go, stay with me.” Her voice surrounded him, stopping him dead in his tracks, without needing any urging he turned to face the woman he so desperately longed for. “I cannot stay knowing I’m not good enough to be called yours, not good enough to love you Milady,” he whispered. Slowly he fell to his knees before her, pain and love his only emotions. Suddenly he felt her gentle fingers caressing his cheek and the touch of her lips upon his brow. “Who has told you that you are not god enough for me? Who would dare speak those words when you mean more to me then anything…I’m in love with you and only you. I cannot and will not ever love another.” Her words surprised him taking all the pain his heart held away. He need not go, he need not let his love for her go to waste. Without thinking twice on it he gathered her in his arms and pressed his lips to hers.
