Dear Heart,
I know you are hurting. I feel it with every shuddering beat through my body. With your permission, I would like to get to know you better. Allow me to see your wounds, even and perhaps especially, those I inflicted myself. I know it will take time to regain your trust, and I vow to write as often and as ardently as I can to earn it. I want to learn you in deepest measure and how I can help you heal. I will enter every chamber, with your permission, and handle each vessel with care.
You have done so much for me, carried me through the most difficult and painful paths in life. Up till now, I feel I have been an insufficient bearer and protector. No longer. I am human in every way, and while I cannot promise perfection, I can and do promise perseverance. I will do my best to meet you in your pain and discomfort, hold you in your woundedness, and prepare you for healing.
Too long have I ignored your desire to be held and loved by your bearer. I seek to fulfill this most basic need as I traverse the intricate and winding pathways that will draw me closer to you.
Even I do not know the path to take, so I ask that you show me in time where to go. I will listen carefully to your whispers and seek light in the darkest chambers.
You are full of love and hope and hurt. You deserve to be pursued, cherished, and healed. I will pursue your love, I will cherish your hope, and I will heal your hurt. This I swear.
Your faithful Heartsmith
