Dear Jane,

Today is a day of prayer I think, I will pray for you. I will pray for my home and the future of my name, the bloodline that I carry. I will pray for your healing and peace. I will pray for all of us, even the mad raven, to be at peace.

I linger to stay in dreamless slumber.

It keeps me to from the beginning of a begging dawn, the dawn that settles into my breath and haunts my very heart beat. It is the thought of knowing you are lonely yet you are surrounded by others that make you feel this loneliness.

I now understand your need for complete solitude unless you are with your flame, your double, your heart’s strength.

Solidarity prayer and peace with oneself is the most peaceful thing you can attain.

I long to even just hear your twinkling voice once again, my dear Jane, my best friend.

Love, Edward

    aw. I loved the line Gina picked out too, but also given it sounds like Jayne Eyre and Edward Rochester...love the last line "I long to even just hear your twinkling voice once again, my dear Jane, my best friend." Lovely and just feel the longing in his words.
