***********

They do not understand, perhaps they cannot understand. I hear the
whispers and see the pitiful looks wherever I go, no matter how happy
or sad I am.

"How lonely he must be," they say, or "maybe one day he will move
on."

I cannot tell them that I am not alone, or that I have nothing to
move on from. They would not believe me and would think me driven mad
with grief.

But I know that it is no illusion, my heart is too content for that.
I live my days in the sunlight you so loved, but I relish the nights
the most. For I know that when I enter reverie you will be there,
waiting for me.

You take me in your arms and though you are not flesh and blood you
are still real, still mine. I had always believed there was more to
love than just the physical, now I know it to be true.

We make love, spirits mingling in the ethereal light and after as we
lay together, I tell you of my day, just as I always have, just as I
always will.

When dawn comes we part, but not with sadness, for I know I will see
you again when the sun sets. I awake with a smile and wet sheets,
ready to face the day.

One day you will be returned to me in full, but until then I am
content to find you in my dreams, and love you always, my beloved
Ecthelion.
