To My Love
{Season 8 Spoilers}
Allura,
I miss you.
I miss you all the time. Sometimes I forget that you’re gone. There are things I wish I could say to you or that I could’ve said before... y’know.
When you gave me the mark of the chosen, I didn’t know what it meant at first. Truth be told I didn’t care, I just didn’t want you to leave. But as we continued to build Altea the way you would’ve wanted and in a way that benefits everyone I finally understood. You chose me to continue your legacy. You chose me to help our friends keep the universe at peace when you weren’t there to.
And I thank god every day for it.
We built you a statue, and it couldn’t be more beautiful. Sometimes I catch Keith and Pidge standing near the plauqe and talking to you. And on the anniversary of your sacrifice, I tell your story there. The kids love you.
I know you grew up here but Altea is really amazing. The architecture, the plant life- everything I swear is beautiful, Allura. It’s enchanting.
The farm is doing great. We’ve created so many new strains of foods that will help Hunk and his team create new dishes and keep everyone fed. Colleen taught us just about everything she knows.
It’s only been a year but it feels like a lifetime and no time at all since you’ve been gone. The lions left just a few nights ago. To where, I’m not sure but I bet you do. I don’t think they’re coming back either, the universe is at peace now, what do we need to defend?
Anyway, I started writing this because I wanted to say something to you.
Allura, I love you with everything I have. Since the moment you fell into my arms in the Castle of Lion’s I knew you were my soulmate. I know it’s selfish but I wish we had more time. I wish we got married here. I wish we had a family, as big as the one I have now. I wish we got to grow old together.
But it gives me peace to know there’s probably a reality where that happens. A reality you saved.
I cherished the time we had together all those years.
And I hope to see you again.
Love, Lance.
