AN: For a friend of mine. You know who you are.
Trust
That you would open up to me so fully,
That you would let me inside, even with all of your vulnerability, your wounds, so fresh and new.
I have to say, that it has been an honor.
And I know that now, we have to go on and pretend like it never even happened. I get it. Believe me.
But I just needed to tell you that I don't regret it.
It may only have been a moment in time. A moment of comfort, of weakness, even for both of us.
It may have been fleeting, though it was beautiful.
And maybe in the eyes of the masses it never should have been. Maybe we should have kept our distance.
But I don't live by the maybes or by what others say.
I live my life based on what I need and what my loved ones need. And in that moment I know, we needed each other.
The thing I feel bad about is what the Sun and Moon will say.
She with her blazing fire, much like yours and he with his cool, silver tongue. Will they hate us? I'm afraid of that.
I'm afraid of losing them, but I suppose we were anyway.
Maybe in the end it won't be Elysium that takes my family from me. Maybe it will be my own foolhardiness.
All I wanted to do was make you feel better.
I wanted to take your pain away. Even for a moment. I wanted to make you feel beautiful again. I hope I did that.
I hope you don't regret our brief interlude either.
I hope that when all is said and done we can go back to being friends, and just maybe they will forgive us some day.
You know, they both take after you in different ways.
I never knew how much until I held you. I hope for our sake they've inherited your capacity for unconditional love.
I'm sure that in lieu of everything we both need that now.
Anyway, I want to thank you for a moment in time never to be repeated, yet always to be a treasured memory.
AN: Mondo thanks to my beta, IWriteNaked, for fixing me up and making it look all pretty ;D
