aerith's letter to cloud.

 
Hi, Cloud!

This time of year is supposed to be for spending time with the people you love and celebrating, and I've been listening to what everyone has been saying to make sure I get it right. I wanted to make sure the first one we spent together was special, the kind that we would always remember, because I want us to have some happy memories to keep for the rest of our lives. I know it might be selfish, that that's what I want - to be able to spend more of my time with you.

Once, a long time ago, I had lots of wishes, but in the end I just wanted to spend more time with the people I loved. I feel that way even more now, because I feel like the love in my heart has only gotten bigger. I had lots of hopes and dreams, lots and lots of wishes, but now there's only one thing I really, really want - I want to be with you, and with Zack, forever. That's my dream now, okay, so don't forget it!

I know there's still lots of things for us to talk about, and lots of things we need to tell each other, but I think that might be okay. We didn't have much time before, but now we have so much that it's a little bit scary! Isn't it nice, though? We can wake up and know that we're so close to each other, and that's something I've never had before. I've never been able to wake up and know that if I open my eyes the people I love will be right there. It's not the same as it was with mom - I love her, too, but it's different.

It's special when it's you.

So this is my letter, but it's also a promise! I want you to know that no matter what happens I will always be with you. It doesn't matter how far away we go from home or how many things we see and have to face. I'll always be by your side, Cloud. I'll always come back to you. So don't feel bad about things, okay? You need to promise me! I don't want you to feel sad, or to be unhappy, or anything like that. I want to see you smile, every single day, because you deserve to be happy. You need to make sure you remember that, because I'll remind you as often as I can: you deserve to be happy, and I want to see it.

I love you, and I hope you like your presents!

Aerith
