Dear Bella,
I know that you have feelings toward me. I wish it were as easy as for me to say I returned them. I know you feel as if my feelings are different. You, dear, sweet Bella, are right. Saying this to you is not easy, and a soul must not be told. I love you Bella. I know it seems silly, rash even. I never realized how beautiful and intelligent you are. Your power is something I truly admire Bella. With help, you will be very powerful. I will be your guidance to power. I'm afraid, dear Bella, that is all I can give you. Love is not something I am willing to return just yet. I feel as if that is something that will come with time. Maybe soon, but also, never. I hope I can give you everything I can.
Love Tom
He doesn't love me. I may have been blind after all.
