My Better Half
Part Four: The Truth

Chapter 1:

"You are so beautiful. I can’t get you out of my mind. It’s as if I’ve
known you forever, or else have looked for you all my life.
"I want you.
"I need you.
"And, oh, how I love you! It’s a horrid pain in my heart, like claws
ripping it apart, that you don’t know just how much.
"But, how can I tell you? I’m no good at words. I’d give you the stars.
I’d give you the sky. I’d give you everything and more if only...
"But you fear me. You hate me. You loathe me for reasons that I just
don’t remember. I wish it would all vanish. All of it. My past crimes,
whatever they were. Just let them vanish from you as they have from me,
please!
"But, they won’t. You will never think of me as I want you to. Why should
you? I’ve caused you nothing but pain, I know that much. Oh, my love! Oh,
my beautiful...
"Why?
"And now, I must go. Oh, how I wish...I wish...
"But, no.
"Allura, I'm sorry. I love you."
