Dear Juliet,

I trust this letter finds you well. The days that have past since our last embrace have felt like a millennia.

These words have failed me for some time now. But they've grown too heavy. I can no longer bear their weight.

I need you to know the depth of my love for you.

I have never met anyone and I doubt I will meet anyone who could ever compare. I have never been so lost and consumed by the sin of flesh as I have with you.

Not a single person could convince me that you are any less than a Goddess. Every single sense when filled by you is nothing short of a near death experience. I see colors that do not exist on this planet when we go where we go.

You trusted me enough to let me see all of your strengths and all of your weaknesses. I prayed and I healed all that I knew how. I asked the creator herself to use me to heal you. Your heart is unlike any other. The way you love touches the deepest cracks of my heart and soul.

I've been so close. I've been touched by my angel. Loved too. But you pull away. You get lost in the old stories. You do not honor this love or me.

I have walked through the worst version of hell for freedom, happiness, and a chance with you.

Our garden was full of flowers. It sustained the bees. Maybe you ran because you were afraid of the sting. But you always came back.
