Adieu
Sometimes I forget just how fragile and brief a mortal lifetime can be. Years of future hopes and dreams extinguished in the blink of an eye - as if they never held any meaning at all. Even the very strongest of hearts will eventually cease to beat. I have watched helplessly through the passing of the years as time steals away those I have loved. How many times will this happen before I learn to keep my distance?
Tonight I am haunted by questions that I have asked myself for more than two hundred years. Why did I feel the need to interfere? What is it about certain souls that draws me in causing this selfish desire to know and to be close to them? Is the fleeting time spent in their company really worth the unbearable pain of their loss? These questions remain unanswered.
He may have taken her life yet it was I who sealed her fate.
Adieu Jacqueline,
In paradisum deducant te angeli.
