"Do you feel it? The heart that beats steadily in your chest? Do you hear it? The playful singing of rustling leaves and chirping birds?
Let the wind gently ruffle your hair in greeting. Let the grass tickle your hands as you touch them. Let all matter of animal walk slowly towards you and let you gently pat their heads. Let others cheer you on in excitement, drape their arms around your shoulders in camraderie, hug you tightly in glee.
My dear, my darling sweet boy. To feel these things, is it not obvious? Listen to my words, laced with nothing but the truth of all things.
And, my starlight, my darling. As the stars glitter in your eyes, as a soft smile grazes your lips. Your presence alone brings joy, and leaves warmth in its wake. Oh, meine liebe, please understand.
These glances I give, these moments shared between you and I. They are everything to me. And they mean everything to you too. Because the world has brought us together no matter how tragic, no matter how frivolous, and no matter how it came to be. It was always meant to be, you and I.
The ghostly Lord and his silly, handsome, kind little Slimey companion.
As the chill of my ghostly hands touch yours, as these wispy fingers intertwine with yours. I tell you this.
Please. Do not close yourself from me. Do not open your ears to those whispering voices. Listen not to words meant to put you down. They are nothing but lies, formed to harm you. They do not speak with good intentions, never with good intentions.
Look towards the horizon, do not let yourself linger in the past. Not as much as they want you to. You are so much more than what they paint you as. I know you are because I know you.
You are everything. You are the sun, the stars, the sky. You are the grass, the flowers, the trees.
You are everything. And I know you are, Because I know everything. I have seen the secrets the greater beings have tucked into the crevices of the divine. What has been, what once was, and what will be. And I know all these things because I know you.
You who have shown me the beauty of the universe, the beauty of life. The beauty that is you. The beauty that was always you.
...Or something like that. I don't really know how to be romantic. I apologize. Did I manage to cheer you up :D?"
