Disclaimer: I do not own Tale Of Two Cities
Sometimes of a night like this I let my mind wonder. Sometimes I think back to what might have been. How would I have been had my hopes been realized. I would be I suppose the happiest man in the world.Would I be bothered about minor things? I think not. My friend though he has become like my brother does not realize sometimes how blessed he is. Grant it he never acts in a way that is hurtful but he has on two occasion spoke without thinking.In the first instance I was able to talk to him and cause him to realize that he was illogical. He would have realized it anyway I know but he realized it a lot quicker with me speaking to him. The second time he was like an ass... stubborn. Thankfully I am a bigger ass.Would I have been so foolish as to go to France when I was an aristocrat? I think not. I'm not a fool. I would not leave my wife and beautiful child to go to France even if it were to rescue a friend. Sadly that friend already met his fate. What a waste!My friend has done so many foolish things that I wish I could say I would never have done. I have done worse. I can remember one such occasion where I had acted without using my brain. It was a moment of fright but I know he would never have done what I did!I am so grateful I have a chance now to be my dear friend. Even if I am only dying his death on this... the last night of my life I am living his life. I wish I could say words that I left out of my letter. I wish I could say I LOVE YOU and I WILL BE WATCHING OVER YOU. But they know. The past is at an end and tomorrow I will be at an end too... but it will also be a beginning for me.
