Quatre-

I too don’t trust my voice. So much has gone unsaid before because of my fear. But it’s so simple, what I want to say. Merely, "I love you." The words don’t come easily to me. But the feeling is there, Quatre, your feelings are felt in return. I love you too. I want so to be with you.

The only reason I am not near you right now is because I couldn’t stand it if you did not share my feelings. I tried to suppress that overwhelming sensation of belonging, or rather, wanting to belong to you. Yes, I also feel this inexplicable trust towards you.

I do surrender to you. I am at your mercy. Tell me what to do, I’ve never felt like this before. I’ve remained silent for so long because I couldn’t understand what was happening. I’d never trusted anyone so before, and I was worried that I was making a mistake. I now realize that I could never make a mistake with you, unless it was that I never got to tell you how I feel.

I know I won’t send this letter. I wouldn’t trust something so important and personal to strangers. I will deliver this by hand and watch you as you read it. I still won’t be able to use my voice to tell you. I will have used up all my courage just coming to you and handing you this slip of paper. I may deny it without even knowing it, from old habit, hiding my feelings so deeply within, I find that I can only express myself with the written word. And music. I did that before. I tried to show you through the music. All I want is to play another duet with you, this time, no masked emotions.

Yours in return-

Trowa Barton
