Hi Lorin,
For some reason you were on my mind this morning, and a voice told me to email you. What mysterious forces drives us I don't know, but there is a reason for all things we are made to do, and I trust that there is a reason for this correspondance.
I am now living in Vancouver. The rain is steady and constant, and extraordinarily comforting. Here the grass is still green, and so are the bamboo leaves outside my living room window.
I was in an interesting place in my life when I first met you. It was a painful place and for the most part, I was lost in my own head, swimming in a sea of daydreams. I had decided to leave school, to forfeit a full scholarship and to leave behind everything that I had grown confident and safe in. I had to do it because it wasn't my life I was living, it was a life of expectations and obligations and I couldn't do that any longer.
People came in and out of my life during those times, many who are now but an anonymous face in my past. But you for some reason remain distinct and unforgettable. I think it's because when I look into you, I see someone who is very close to his personal beauty. There is a spark in you, a glow that has outlived all your dissapointments and pains. So many in this world simply give up, believing that love is a game for children, and that life is something to be lived and lost, but I see that you see there is something much much more than that.
When I looked into you, I saw a reflection of myself and so in you, I found understanding. I know it sounds strange - we barely exchanged any words in the time we knew each other - but you were a light in my life.
I hope this letter finds you well. I know that you struggle a lot of the time, trying to decide whether or not the future holds the treasure you have looked your whole life for. I don't know if you've found it yet, perhaps you have and you are wondering whether or not it will last. I dont' know, but what I do know is that one day you will look upon your life with true joy and love, because you deserve it. You live the life of a melancholy optimist Lorin...and that is a beautiful life worth living.
In respect,
QC
