"How do you look at someone you love and tell yourself it’s time to walk away."
(via betterleftunsaid21)
My Dearest Malric,
I hope this letter finds you well. And if not well, at least alive. I trust Deyin isn't letting you get too far into your cups before rescuing your from yourself.
I've been writing and rewriting this letter all day, trying to find the right words. There aren't any, I don't think. That bothers me for some reason. I know that doesn't make any sense to you, but there you have it.
I've been in Pandaria since you've left, and it has given me a great deal of time to think. Defeating Mogu and avenging the Golden Lotus isn't nearly as thought provoking as one would think. Stone and Sha fall quickly against my staff and mace. I'm not sure what to make of it.
I do know one thing, however. As difficult as this decision is, its time for me to let you go. I do so with no ill will, and with the knowledge that I've done all that I can, yet your heart remains firmly attached to a ghost.
A bit of an ego bruising, that revelation. And yet I know this is for the best. While I will always care for you, I've found my thoughts of you souring these last few weeks, and that will simply not do. I knew what I was getting myself into when I realized I was falling for you. I've nobody but myself to blame in the end.
While you were away fighting Garrosh, I felt so...useless. Cooped up and trapped in that house. I love that house, do not get me wrong, and I will be living there with delight this coming winter. But I won't limit myself to waiting for a man to come home and help me realize my worth.
I am a strong woman Malric, and as much as you cherished me, I somehow forgot that. I cannot allow that to happen again, not after finally remembering it.
I will say I hope you find yourself able to let her go one day. There's an entire world out there that you're missing out on.
I do love you Malric, and I hope you find my words to be a relief.
Now, the trick will be actually sending this letter out instead of writing yet another draft.
Also...this is something I've gone back and forth on repeatedly. The necklace you gifted me is precious, more than I can say. However, normal circumstances and societal norms dictate I return it. Instead, enclosed please find a receipt for the cost of the necklace, deposited today into your bank.
I'm keeping it, regardless of what polite company would think.
Then again, you probably figured that out already.
With all due affection,
Rory
