M.L. & Miguel- Next Letter

My dearest Friend,

Your forever kind words in my favor strike such goodness into my weary heart tonight. For, here in my silent room as I look beyond the window out to the stars and vast darkness, I am comforted by you though you fail to be near me in flesh. I know you are aware of the sadness I feel; and in you only do I confide all of this heartache I harbor presently, my beautiful friend; I will always love you. My poor weakened mind is still conquered by Adaire while my heart links itself to your honest impression: I believe you were right. She is alone in life and though I filled such a void for her these past two weeks, the fear in her eyes as my heart attached to her closer with each kiss told me what my own eyes tried to deceive me of. We did light a fire with such chemistry within such little time that we smiled upon smiles to each other in happiness; yet, now it remains only a blackened dot and a bittersweet memory. Once again my weakness has produced pain. The assurance of your friendship and love holds my spirit tonight and I shall forever be grateful. I must confess that upon her leave, Adaire allowed me to see in her a slight desire to stay with me of which she was unaware, but I knew that her fear kept her going the opposite way. I can only pray for her now. She is a lovely woman inside. And at present I know I am liable to, shall we say beat myself up over it, but I cannot change circumstances or my heart. I also wish not, for those are things life is made of. Well, my dearest wonderful friend, what a friend would I become if not to satisfy your wondering mind with ideas upon which to feast when your gorgeous cousin closes her lengthy visit with you! Of course, we cannot force Zachary into such an attachment, but merely suggest and entertain ourselves with fiction. For, that very fiction may someday become reality. Dear Zachary shall continue his pursuit with gentleness and integrity. These two will grow with knowledge of the other, building their own communication while he holds her lovely hand with strength to protect her in which she confides with comfort. Solidity will form with the growing relationship. “You are so beautiful to me. Will you, please, be mine and only mine?” She tilts her head slowly up to his face as she leans into him before answering. Atop the balcony of Eldora’s Restaurant, their eyes view the orange sunset dripping behind the mountains. “Yes. You shall be only mine too.” He kisses her head softly just as the sun hides its face from another day. I do indeed wish your gorgeous cousin my best, whether her mind and Zachary’s courage ever produce such as we dream. My ears would love nothing more than listening upon her musical talent, which you dote upon. Well, my dearest friend, my mind is tiring quickly as the hours pass quite so dreadfully slow. I shall be full of excitement upon spring’s arrival bringing you to visit me in person. My move is quite imminent now and I must focus my energy upon that work. For, the date I shall receive my new house key is merely weeks away. While it has slid down to a small thought in my mind due to the swirling emotions as of late, I am very excited. I pray my mind will take on a fresh move to the future just the same. Tonight’s moon has risen high and beginning to drop again making way for our sun and a new day; thus, my body is in great need of rest. I bid you goodbye for the time being and wait patiently for your reply letter. For, your curious and energetic words will bring me a smile in the midst of my pain. My dear most dear friend, I fear the duration of time needed for me to heal from this latest episode in my life. She came and left so fast, yet it was all filled with passion. Please write me soon for you are the only one I pour out such feelings to; thank you for the outlet. And do take the best care of yourself, my dear loyal friend.

Love from your Friend,

Miguel
