Dear Catherine,

You are quite an amazing woman; I hope you know that.

I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would end up with you – it was unfathomable.

But nevertheless, here we are, together. Just you and me.

Being with you, it allows me to open up, to become my true self. I never have to hide around you, and that is very rare.

Before you came into my life, I was closed in, hidden in my shell – you broke me free, Catherine. I didn't think that was even possible.

Finding your love, your heart, it completed my soul. When we're together, both of us are complete, whole – perfect.

This love is the most real feeling I have ever experienced, and to let it go would be extremely unwise.

I will never, never leave you, Catherine Willows.

You are my whole life. Your love consumes my entire being.

I love you always.

Gil
