I remember, long, long ago, seeing for the first time ultimate perfection. It is something addicting, captivating, something from which you can't pull away. But at the same time it's torturous to look at, knowing it's more than you or anything you know, and the envy is enough to tear you apart.
Perfection is a word which has no meaning to those whom have never witnessed it. Caused by flawlessness is a sensation, experienced only by those who have seen it.
You may wish to know where I saw the perfection. It wasn't in an angel, nor from a bubbling brook or the whispering wind. No, these things could never encompass the incomparable wonder I beheld. Rather, it was something invisible, yet it stood before me, viewable in my mind's eye.
It took me by surprise, pulling me in, and while I was unwilling at first, I fell limp before its beauty. I was captured, and there was no escaping its majesty. And while I struggled to free myself from its grasp, knowing it would hurt me in the end, I couldn't manage. It was far beyond me, and my curiosity drew me in.
To this day, I have never regretted following this perfection to the end. While knowing I was nothing compared to this great power, and my meek heart was poor and small before it, I felt strangely safe and sheltered when I was near. I couldn't leave once I arrived, lest I feel naked and exposed to the world.
So I stayed in the arms of this perfection until this day, and it holds me close, never letting me go. It is beautiful, loving, caring, and wise. It is patient, kind, and content. It never envies, nor is it proud. It stays by my side always, and it will never leave me. This perfection is something I will never let go, and it shall stay with me as I grow old, guiding my life through the years. It is not something of this world, but rather that of the ranks of heaven, having decended to help those in need, such as I.
It is your love, and its majesty is unchanging, surviving forever, never ending.
With love,
Yuki Sohma
to my dearest Tohru Honda-Sohma
