And yet when you walk that isle to meet him and join yourselves together forever you will walk the invisible path of the shards of my heart,Tessa. I would give my own life for either of yours. I would give my own life for your happiness.I thought perhaps when you told me that you did not love me that my own feelings would fall away and atrophy, but they have not.They have grown every day. i love you now more desperately, this moment, than I have ever loved you before, and in an hour I will love you more than that. It is unfair to tell you this, I know, when you can do nothing about it" he took A shuddering breath "How you must despise me"
