Ness,

I ought to simply come out and say this. I keep trying, but every time I end up faltering, at a loss for words. You've no idea how many months I've agonized over this. The more time that passes, the more clear it becomes. Please, don't be alarmed by this. What I'm telling you is what's inside my heart
the objective truth
something I cannot deny
difficult to say, but
the full truth of how I feel about you.

You are a good
noble
beautiful
courageous
strong
perfect

wonderful person, both inside and out. When I have your attention, when I see you smile, I feel better
stronger
happier
more worthy
no happier, yes happier than ever before. I'm not one for poetics, but your eyes are the calm in the storm of my life. You've been my stability for so long, and I hope that I have something to offer you in return. You and Garahel both. You are everyone I've ever wanted in another person, and I hope that we can share our lives together or what's left of them for us.

Yours truly,

With love,

Kain
