How desperately I wish to say this to you. Alas... I submit it to the winds to carry upon their wings and spread faintly about the ears of any who would listen as I earnestly whisper it from my lips. Too little, too late, I'm afraid. Nevertheless, no truer love was ever known and should not soon be forgot.
