Gilda's letter(head in the clouds)

Well, my love,

I'm trying to make sense of things...

of how I was, and how I am now.

I have always believed

our first duty is to ourselves...

to live life to the full.

But I have also been haunted

by another conviction...

that everything is preordained,

lying in wait...

and time is running out.

I seem to have charged through my life

in a kind of panic.

And looking back...

I feel I have achieved little of worth

beyond our friendship:

yours and mine, and Mia's.

Then one day I woke...

and found I had lost

the two people I cared for most.

Only then did I begin to realize that

we cannot live alone, aloof from the world...

and that to believe we cannot fight

against fate is an act of surrender.

You were right when you said that

once I cared for your opinion of me...

but wrong in thinking I ever stopped caring.

I love you.
