Kain,
I am forced to write you this letter, as they will not allow me to see you. Honestly, if it is a 'mere fever' then what harm could I possibly do? I hope you are as lonely as I am. I keep glancing up to say something to you but then I remember you are not with me. It is a little embarrassing. Of course, there is Rosa to cheer me up, but it just isn't the same without you. It is as though everything ceases to have meaning and worth, when you are not here. Funny, isn't it? And it has only been two days!
I was up on our hill yesterday, and even the glorious rays of the sun seemed to dull in your absence. Perhaps there is something wrong with me for noticing such strange things- maybe it is because we spend so much time together. Although, the thought of spending less time in each others company is weirdly, daunting to me.
Am I rambling? You know, I've realised something, Kain. I don't like to think about it, but if you were to die, I would want to be there to witness it- to be by your side, holding your hand and for you to share your last moments with me. I know it sounds selfish but I cannot even think about you dying alone somewhere, or with someone other than myself. I am sure you will mock me for that later, but I do not mind, for it is the truth.
Rosa played the piano for me this morning, but it in no way, compared to the passion of the music you play for me on your violin. (Do not tell her that, I beg of you). I wonder…could you play me something tonight, if you are feeling better? I shall sit outside your door from six to seven pm.
You aren't terribly ill, are you, Kain? I won't awake tomorrow morning to find you…gone, will I? I mustn't think so; I am dwelling on death too much. Maybe I shall suit the dark arts better than I thought, once I become a dark knight. What do you think, Kain? Well, we shall talk about that once you are well. It is so very lonely without you to talk to…I do so hope you recover soon.
Love from your closest friend,
Cecil
P.S. I plucked these blue tulips from the gardens this lunchtime- I saw them and thought of you. They symbolise my trust and loyalty to you, as my friend. I hope you like them.
