Moonlight Dwelling

I wonder if things would have turned out differently if only I hadn't gone snooping around in that file cabinet and pulling out that folder revealing your true father. Would I still be alive? Would you still be alive? Losing you brought such great sorrow that given the chance I had to see you just one last time.

Wandering around in the afterlife yet still on Earth with you to see me although we couldn't touch I still had you in my life. All of that changed because of that stupid blue thing you found revealing yourself to be a witch. If only I'd broken it maybe none of this would have happened. We could have both been alive and together. Who knows maybe I could have persuaded you to love me the way I wanted to be loved.

Was death always to be my fate? Would I have met Maya some other way instead of in death. I will always love you Cassie but deep down where I didn't want to admit I knew that we'd always just be the best of mates and nothing more although I yearned for it so. Now alone once again Maya taken away from me most cruelly left alone to wander the afterlife.
