I'm not supposed to love you anymore.
[color=black;font-family:georgia;font-size:small;]Dear Hanover:
It's difficult for me to know just what to say anymore. I've taken it upon myself to appeal to you to stand-up for your honour and for your dignity as the wonderful community of friends and patriots you have become over the past year.
In my zeal to make you see who you are and to let you know that you deserve better, I've made a number of caustic remarks, motivated not by hate or jealousy as some have declared, but rather out of genuine concern.
I don't apologize for anything, don't get me wrong. I said the things I've said because I know them to be true and because I have believed in them. I have no personal axe to grind with anyone and I certainly don't covet a position of any kind in the union which may or may not come about, regardless of what some might want you to believe.
I'm no longer your king and I realize that, but I'll always be your Dad, and I'll always worry about you...worry about who you're dating, where you're going at night. It's hard not to after all I've been through with you.
But a father needs to learn to let go of his child, and so with this I do. It's not for me to tell you what to do or where to go anymore. That's someone else's role now. I've all but forgotten that these past several days, and for that I apologize.
Although the concerns I raised in your name were genuine, you have every right to determine your own destiny without my interference. My appeals have not exactly resonated with you, I'm aware of that. It's not for me to understand why, but rather for you to know your own selves and your own needs. So I'll back down and keep my peace from here on in.
At any rate, doing otherwise I only risk becoming Mr. Bekkenhuis's next Robert Gresham, and that's just not a part I care to audition for. I'll leave that role for another unlucky soul.
I won't ever stop being concerned about you, I know that, too. But my concern will be silent and countered by a very real trust in your ability to make the right choices for your future. I no longer have any doubts in that area.
Now is King Thomas's time to reign and to be your father, not mine and my sincere apologies go to him. He knows what's best for you and I trust his judgment. Be there for him as you were for me.
And should, some day, Vincent of Morovia become your father, despite all I have said about him, I know he will come to love you and care for you as I did. How could he but otherwise? How could anyone not love you?
I'll leave the guardians of your future to love you and to care for you as I thank you for everything you have given me.
Peace.

[color=black;font-family:times new roman;font-size:x-small;]We agreed that it was over
Now the lines have all been
drawn
The vows we made began to
fade
But now they're gone.
Put your pictures in a shoebox
And my gold ring in a drawer
I'm not supposed to love you
anymore
Now I'm writing you this letter
And it's killing me tonight
That I agreed when you believed
it wasn't right
And I couldn't sleep up
on the bed
So I'm down here on the floor
Where I'm not supposed to love you
anymore
I shouldn't care or wonder
where and how you are
But I can't hide this hurt inside my
broken heart
I'm fighting back emotions
that I've never fought before
I'm not supposed to love you
anymore[/color]
