Prompt:sage-
i will never send this.
you will never see this.
that's the powerful part of our land's current- it carries everything away.. including this letter, once i'm done with it.
obviously, because who sends a half-written letter down a river? not i, that's for sure, sage. and you know me.
i know you, too.
all too well. i know your favorite color- green. your favorite food- rabbit.. one of which i brought you earlier, hoping you would light up and forget some stress as you ate it. you were too busy to eat. i know your kithood stories, even the embarrassing ones. i know your heart, sage, and i'd like to think i know your soul.
so.. i know that you will never reciprocate.
i'm not a cruel tom. i wouldn't put the weight of my feelings on your shoulders when you already carry so much as the high priest... it's admirable and annoying simultaneously, the way you hate to let me help. that's my job, you know. well, you
should know. you did assign it to me, after all.
and so, you will never see this.
already said that, didn't i?
... [there's a break in the writing quality, as if the second part was written later on.]
sage ' fire, i love you.
i have always loved you.
i will always love you, even after the earth reclaims me.
starclan willing, i will continue to love your very essence even in death. i have dedicated every fiber of my being to you, and i regret nothing.
except maybe this letter, if you ever see it.
maybe i should rip it up before i throw it in the river, just to be sure?
you're so sweet. you're the prettiest tom i've ever met. i can hardly put words to the way i feel about you, everything about you is enchanting, and if this paper were longer, i would never stop writing about how you make me feel, about your brilliance, about you.
i'm running out of space. this is messy. i just couldn't stand the thought of keeping these feelings internal for any longer. you're so beautiful, sage, in the way you exist.
please grow old with me.
