“In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. For so long I have fought this attachment, trying to convince myself that it was merely a passing fancy, but every moment only deepens my admiration for you. My heart cannot deny it any longer. You are the one I have been waiting for, the one my soul longs for, and I can no longer pretend otherwise. Please, accept my love, as it is all I have to give.”
