Letter II

Evening, June 21th

Closure. Ironically, distance has made the trip way easier.
This is my goodbye letter to you, loved you truly and deeply.

Letter I

Morning, on July 7

My thoughts go out to you, my immortal beloved

I can live only wholly with you or not at all.

Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of

our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together.

Be calm. Love me - Today - yesterday - what tearful longings 

for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.

Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful

heart of your beloved.

Ever thine,

Ever mine,

Ever ours.

Ludwig van Beethoven.

When did we stop being free, to be just you and me?
