My Dearest Doctor Lea,
If this reaches you, something must have happened to me. I wish I could explain things to you in better circumstances, but we don't really get everything we want, do we? I learned that the hard way.
You must be wondering why I am back, bothering you again. I have probably lost the right to call you Lea now. For that, I am terribly sorry. There is nothing more that I regret.
The day I met you in Switzerland, I knew that you were different. Good different. Whenever you were around, I find myself wondering how a person as genuine as you can exist.
Remember when I told you that the reason why I got you the first edition Pride and Prejudice was because it reminded me of you? I wasn't being completely honest then. The truth is, I bought it because I realized something. To quote Jane Austen, "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun".
I was already in the middle of loving you before I realized I had even begun.
I promised you once that I will never have you conform to what society demands and I will do everything in my power to deliver that promise. Even if it means setting you free.
Forgive me for the pain I have caused you.
I have so much more to tell you but words will never suffice.
Know that I will keep on thanking all my lucky stars that I got the chance to love and to be loved by you... It is the single best thing I have done.
Perhaps in another life, we could love each other freely.
For now, go and change the world. I'll be right at the sidelines, cheering you on. Always.
Yours,
Ian
