Loving Letters...

Not really sure what this comes under, or how to explain it. I was given the idea of a man of the cloth declaring his emotions after horrific news on his way to family. (Or something like that)

My Dearest Alexandra,

I have been thinking about you ever since I first met you, nearly eighteen months ago now.

Your story has touched me more deeply than any that I have heard since becoming a priest nearly forty years ago now.

I know that I am falling for you, but I also know that this is the last thing that I can do.

I have always thought I knew where I belonged, that I was meant to be God's disciple; his and his alone ~ to do his good work and spread his loving word.

I did not need love, money or fame; I was happy (more than happy) with all that he gave me.

Maybe the fact I have never loved a woman has given me this problem I find myself faced with, or it could be what I have seen you go through that has given me questions... have I lost my faith or is it simply the fact you have touched a part of me no one else ever has?

When I see you, I long to protect you; to see your beautiful smile once more.

I find that I am often caught smiling as I think of you, Mass is difficult to administer when you are present; I long to be alone with you.

It will be the only way that I can tell you how I feel, I could take you into my arms and hold you close until all my strength was gone; anything to show you what real love is like.

Although you shall be my first love I know that it will be right for both of us, how could something that felt so right be wrong?

I feel that taking a small short vacation may be of help to me, it will give me the distance and clarity that I need to find strength and answers. I have family in Cromer, they have invited me to stay for as long as I need; I hope that the time away will be all that I need it to be.

I write you with my explanation and apology, not just of how I feel but also for not being man enough to stay. I hope that in time all will become clear to both of us, I am aware that you long to find some answers of your own; I wish this if nothing else for you my dear.

I end, forever yours with affection.

My Dear Alexandra,

I find myself in a position that I have never been in before.

It has been three days now since I last wrote to you, all that I said then was true and more.

However, recent events have given me cause to question myself and all that I thought I knew even harder than previous. I long to ask if you would come to me, I need you now more than ever; but I shall hold back from doing so ~ you need to understand all before you make that choice to visit me.

I usually travel to my family by car, but I left it back in Northampton with Lee. Travelling here on the Train felt so relaxing and leisurely; it was like a different world, I am after all used to rushing and tearing about all the time.

Anyway, I digress slightly. The first I knew anything was wrong was when Lee called to say he had been involved in an accident, thankfully it was my car that came off worse; after all a car can be replaced ~ a human being cannot.

As the news of that vile terror attack hit Cromer, everyone's life changed that moment; much as it had after the attacks on London and New York.

I have, like you I am sure; been glued to the news reports. Hoping and praying that those injured are spared any further suffering, and that the families of the dead are protected.

I have been horrified by the needless deaths and violence that I have seen, I know that you will have been too.

In closing, I feel it necessary to express my feels for you once more; to explain that I long to hold you in my arms and take away the pain from your past.

I remain forever yours my love.

Always Yours, David x
