The Guardian's love letter

INTRO: So, this is a...poetic letter? A guardian is a type of character from my novel. I had the idea for this, and decided a Guardian would fit well into it.
The author of this letter is a female Guardian. The recipient, a male human. The Guardian has human characteristics, but are not human. They have large wings, normally matching their hair color. They are Guardians of the earth. Each one has different strengths to aid different areas of life and protection.
She is readying to depart and gather herself back to peak performance. She was unwise to develop feelings for a human, allowing him to know and offer such in return.
She has started to drift into the way of humans, and in realizing this must take leave to gather her feelings.
She desperately wants him to come with her, but to force him would not be good for either party. She wants it to be his choice. So she is asking him, with much fear the answer will be no. Only because she knows he has many weaknesses, and might not be ready to leave the comfort of his human life, no matter how much better leaving would be for him.
She trusts his decision, knowing that if their bond is meant, it will withstand her departure, should he choose to stay behind.
I called it a love letter, because she is expressing the way she feels, asking him to do the same. Working to preserve them both separately and together. Asking him to leave what he knows for her, after spending time away from what she is accustomed to for him. In this situation, in their world, it would be an act of love for him to go with her. So...I guess that's it. I hope you enjoy this, and of course give some criticism if you have any.



THE GUARDIAN'S LOVE LETTER


My love,


I leave shortly. I can no longer stay in this place you call home. Will you come with me? Let us forsake the ways of the world together. If you are not ready to depart, I understand. I will wait for you on the other side. I am not able to fight this temptation on my own, and I realize you may not be ready to give in.

You do not yet understand the depth of my feeling, it goes past logical thought. You hold great emotions that reside beneath your thick exterior, and you have yet to express them. I would wait an eternity to hear the words of your mouth. Keep that in mind.

It is time for me to regain my self control. I must resist, I implore you to do the same.
We have yet to become even in spirit, our minds are selfish, and our bodies are weak.

Should you decide to stay behind, surely I will return fully when I am able. Do not forget that. I am always with you. The sparse region of mind and spirit we do share binds us. At the appointed time, we shall become one completely and eternally.

For now, I leave you with the gift of my spirit. It will grow stronger with you in time. In my absence I shall ask for peace and satisfaction in your work. Also, I will ask for your strength of will, that it may surpass all worldly understanding. You are strong, yes. If only you could understand that you could be invincible.

So my love, I ask once more. Will you come with me to forsake the futile expectations of this world? I await your decision, and believe me when I say, I trust whatever you decide. I will never leave you. Do not fear that, for I desire no other. This brief departure is for our wellbeing. I know you will be aware of that.

Stay strong, do not give in or falter. Remember to always consider your ways carefully.

All my love,
A.
