Dear Ian,

I am leaving. I should have told you in person, but I couldn't bear to say goodbye.

This mind, this body; it's only big enough for one of us… and it belongs to Melanie. I've taken over, something I've done to other creatures countless times now; they're nothing but a host to me. The thing that has changed my way of seeing things is actually having a connection to the previous mind in the host body that refused to let go. Melanie refuses to let go, and I've become to love her. She is selfless and amazing. I've never seen anything in all of my lifetimes as strong as her. I wish I could say the same for myself.

Ian, I couldn't say goodbye to you because… I love you. You've treated me with such kindness and compassion that creatures like me should have experienced. I don't deserve you, I don't deserve this body, and I don't deserve this world.

Ian I love you, and you'll be the only one that I will lay in my heart. As a soul, I don't believe in "soul mates", but if there ever was such a thing, it would be you. Don't change.

Love, Wanda.
