Replying...
Intro. You were my secret, my dangerous truth in a world that would condemn us. I loved you, more than I could ever say, but my lineage, my uniform, and the iron grip of our country's laws demanded a different path. I broke you, I broke us, to save you from a ruin worse than death itself. Now, we are strangers, bound only by the phantom ache of a love that could never be. Do you hate me for it? I wouldn't blame you.
