We are travellers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity.
Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.
This is a precious moment.
It is a little parenthesis in eternity.
~The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
Letter 12: Caroline to Klaus (29/03/14)
Dear Klaus,
A lot has happened since we last spoke and I've had a lot on my mind. Since we saw each other face to face so recently, I thought there would be no need for any more letters, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. You seem to have a whole new life now in New Orleans and I am still stuck in Mystic Falls. I keep falling for the same type of guy since I met you. I can't seem to help it. Not so long ago, I thought Tyler was my true love, but now I am not so sure. He is now free, after all, and still we could not be further apart. So, I decided to move on, but I have not found anyone that made me feel the tingling in my stomach that you brought out in me. I want butterflies! I need a little chaos. I need passion. You challenged me and turned my whole world upside down. Just recently, I almost fell for someone, an old friend of Damon's, only because he reminded me of you. Ironically, I fell for his trickery, exactly as you fell for mine all those months ago. I was being played, just like I played you back then. I should have seen it coming. You 'bad boys' are all the same. I wish I could insert a smiley face here, but this is an old fashioned letter after all, so you'll just have to imagine me smiling right now.
What I'm trying to say is, I thought I craved the 'good guy', with stellar moral values and a clear-cut personality, but you made me reconsider my needs. I realised that I needed someone like you, someone unpredictable, someone who wasn't perfect, but who had a heart of gold buried deep inside his chest somewhere. Maybe all I want is someone that needs saving, as cheesy as that sounds. I never wanted to go there or to act on it before, although I know we did actually ACT on it that one time. So now I wonder, where do we go from here? I think it's time for me to move on, but I don't want to rush into things. I feel myself falling for someone here in Mystic Falls whom I can never have and whom I should not want, as his soul mate is my best friend and it is only because I feel so lost that I am now turning to him. Stephan doesn't realise how I feel though and I want to leave before I make a mistake. I think I should give you a chance, see if you can change. We should take it slow. But I'm willing to give you the chance you deserve, as I'm ready to leave Mystic Falls and start a new adventure with you.
Here's to seeing each other soon!
All the best,
Caroline
