You were right when we spoke
a half lifetime ago. You said the day would come. And that day has come. I regret not doing then
what I do now... so that I could have spared you
so many years... of imprisonment and misery. If you would lay eyes upon me now,
you would not recognize me. I have relinquished
all sense of self... to the throne which rules
my every word and action. But when I think of you,
I see not an aged woman... but rather the young,
resplendent queen... whose portrait I first gazed upon
five and 20 years ago... and whose beauty shone so brightly
when we met... despite her despair

But when I think of you,
I see not an aged woman...
