Sitting on the castle’s walls, we watched the deep, dark sky brighten up. Suzie’s head rested on my shoulder. She shivered, and her porcelain skin was covered in goosebumps—the body wasn’t yet used to not feeling cold.
“We should head back soon.”
“We’ll never be able to see the light again, are we?” tendrils of melancholy followed those words as she absentmindedly caressed the two bite marks on her neck.
“Only the one in each other, love.”
“Forevermore?”
“Forevermore.”
Once upon a midday bright, as I dressed in gown of white,
Embracing many a quaint custom of forgotten lore—
While I giggled, nearly laughing, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at the Bride's room door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at the Bride's room door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember it was a sunny day;
Each separate flower cast its shadow on the floor
I prepared to vow, "Forevermore."

My kids worry when I talk to you, but they don't understand. You're living in the books you've read, in the letters you've written, in the blooming gardens you planted. You're wrapped up in the furniture you built, in the painted walls of every room. You still feed me with the recipes you left behind.
You're in my heart, you're in my head, you're in my soul. How can anyone say you're nevermore, when my love for you grows forevermore?
