| Subject: Though she had prepared herself for some news completely detached from her own self, she had hoped he might say things such as those just spoken. Even then, she is shocked to hear them. For a moment, all else fades away... The ever-rising sun, the billowing clouds, and the playful breeze seem to her to no longer exist. Had she heard him correctly? Could there be such a love as the one he spoke of? Could she ever deserve it, all of it? But there was one thing she did not question: She did not wonder if she could want anything more than to bask in his affections and to return them. >>> |

's message, "Ebony mascu forces himself to calm, speaking in almost a rush, but each word was carefully chosen, backed up with all the love and the truth he knew. "Cobweb, I told you once I loved you, and that has never changed. If anything, it's gotten stronger with the years, and with the thoughts that I could lose you. And I've told you before that I only wanted your happiness, however you might fight it, and that too remains true. But I can't push you away any longer, if that's what I'm doing. I love you, I always will...and I can only hope you return it." His eyes search hers for some emotion, knowing her clever disguise will hide it anyway, whatever it is, but still he searches, almost frantic with love, hope, and despair that if her answer was no...he would know there was no second chance..." on 18:36:05 05/03/02 Fri
She simply had to force herself to speak her mind. She was all too good at hiding her emotions and not good enough at showing them. After all, had she not convinced him, and everyone else, that she was uninterested in him from the start? She had always found a certain interest in him which she could find nowhere else. In his presence, she felt both excited (as if her senses were all afire) and calmed (with the peace of respect and appreciation that radiated between the two). No...she had always admired the stallion. Had she not been so stubborn and had circumstances been different, she would have caved in long ago to rest contentedly and eternally in his love. It was a matter of timing... He had come into her life when she was most confused and most bitter.
How could she say so much, though? She had never been a mare of many words. She allows the intruding silence to settle upon them, her mind racing with such thoughts while her lips moved not. This time, though, she didn't not hide her acts. Her eyes revealed that she was thinking and that his words had affected her emotionally. She needed only to describe her feelings to him...
Finally, she again locks eyes with the stallion, more firmly and more intensely than ever before. Her eyes add the details that her mouth cannot, and her voice is soft, low, and emotion-laden when she speaks. "I should have told you long ago, but since the day I met you and stronger each day since, I have admired and respected you as I could never admire or respect another stallion. I...I have known long ago that you were the only one I could...could love." She tenses slightly, for it is such an odd word to say aloud, and though it took effrt to force the word from her lips, it was a deeply-felt truth. Her voice drops to a husky whisper, "I...I suppose I have made you believe I did not. I have loved you... The thought of a love so powerful frightened me..." Her voice trails off, and though her head had ducked during her whisper, allowing her eyes to fall on the grass, she raised her chin to stare him as intently as before. "I have loved you..."
