[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Dearest love,

These eyes that gaze into my soul don't really see me. They only see what they want to see, what is acceptable to see. But who am I if not the forgotten dreams of past. I don't know what you wish nor what you will ever achieve by deceiving me in this light.

What pretty eyes you have my love. They glimmer with the glint of sunlight as it were to a waking moon; flickering like the depths of an ebbing flow that would rise up to merge to the ocean. Like a lark perhaps, that has spread its wings; wild and carefree in the basking shadows of love. Ah, but what is love? It's a gift bestowed upon yearning mortals with burning desire that long to feel the pull of the heart, body and soul combined. Dare I hope that one day I will be blessed by such a potion so potent?
Yet, how can I dream when all my dreams come to naught and all that I have left are the shattered dreams to my broken heart?

I think you suspect that something is wrong. How could you not? You sense my hesitation at every footstep and the indifference in my demeanor. I swear, my love, I did not mean to be so cold, so cruel. But I am only human. I can't put up this farce any longer. How I wish to close these eyes and wrap my arms around you in a heartfelt embrace. How I long to feel the touch of your kisses and the breaths of your desire. How I long for anything at all except this stark formality. Am I nothing to you at all? No, don't contradict me, I do realize I mean something to you. But it is not what I wish to be. I wish to be so much more. I wish to be who I was before I realize there was no hope, simply lust. That love is a myth sung by troubadours and gypsies. I long to show you how I really feel, but alas, once again, all my hopes are simply in vain.
I can see you, restless; even in your sleep. Perhaps you are having a nightmare. I don't know. How would I know? You would never tell me… you would never share what is truly in your heart. After all, emotions are simply human; they are far beneath your regal, poise and etiquette. They are weak and infallible. They are not for the mighty lord sesshomoru.

As always, I remain your faithful servant and admirer.
Yours Only.
