Dear Midna,

I haven't looked out the window for a while. I thought I had, but when I looked today, the trees were all different colours. Yellow, orange, and red. Your eyes were every one of those colours, at one point at least. I went outside for the first time since I locked myself inside. There's a lot more in this world that reminds me of you then I thought there was. I've made it to Ordon Spring, and even that feels too far.

The sun is painful instead of being a relief and I'm finding myself wishing that Ordon was covered in twilight. Was the water always the same colour as your skin, or are the goddesses making it seem that way to punish me? It may sound like an insane thought, but maybe I could drown myself in that water. That way I would be dying with you, Midna. If the water is your skin, and your skin is you, then I guess you would be the one killing me. If I'm willing to die though, I would be killing myself. Maybe it would be something we do together.

I picked up three of the leaves to bring back with me. One yellow, one orange and one blood-red. The same colour your eyes were the last time I ever saw you. I wish you could see them, Midna, because you never got to stay for autumn. I'm going to keep this red leaf forever.

I just had an amazing idea, Midna. You might think I'm turning crazy, but I'm going to build you up again. All these things that remind me of you, I'll put together and make them whole. This will be my attempt at recreating you. You will be a piece of art when I'm done. No, that's a lie. You already are a work of pure and innocent art.

Did you know that your lips are beautiful? Nothing on your body is purple, except for those. I can feel your breath right now, it's cool on my skin. The smell of honeysuckle is filling the air, and swirling around me. You're making me light-headed, Midna.

Nothing ever lasts though, and this feeling wasn't real. I open my eyes and realize it's the wind that's tickling my throat, not your breath. It's not really you at all.

Maybe I am going crazy. Actually, I don't even have to say maybe, because I know I'm going crazy. I never appreciated that word, crazy. It sounds so…beautiful yet mysterious. It's the hard pronunciation of 'cr' and the way it melts into 'z'. You don't even have to pronounce the y because the z already does it for you. That's sort of like me and you, Midna. You're the z, and I'm the y. You'll always come first. I don't have to stand strong and alone, because you'll always be there to help me. I could fall right off the end of the word, or world if I'm being literal, and it wouldn't matter. Because you'll always be the backbone, holding everything up if I can't.

I dreamt of you last night, Midna. I know what you're going to say. "You can actually fall asleep on that rock you call a bed?" See that? I can put words into your mouth. I really am meant for you, Midna. This dream though, it scared me. I thought that dreams were supposed to be perfect representations of your deepest desires. Why was this one so terrifying then? I was a wolf, but not the same blue-eyed beast as I was on our journey. This wolf was deadly, and it wanted to kill you. I couldn't stop it, even though I was in its body. You were so scared. You couldn't defend yourself, Midna. I'm sorry I let the beast hurt you. Please don't be mad. I promise I would never try and hurt you.

Can I confess something? I'm scared to look in the mirror, Midna. I'm terrified of what I might find in my eyes. I'm terrified that you might still be in my eyes. I promise I'll look as long as you're there with me. Whenever you're with me, I feel like everything is going to be okay. Please come and be with me. I'm going to tell you everyday until you listen. I love you, Midna.

Love, Link
