Leader off Balance - Letter #40

Dear Volin,
I thought again how great it is that you and I can be however we want.

You don't need to see your beautiful personality and all the other traits I adore about you
because there is no need to change, fit into a mould or improve on aspects you dont want to improve.
You dont need to focus on anything regarding you, as long as you accept that I take you as you are.
because I have seen what's underneath everything and how you are and I woulnd't change a thing.

I love finding out new thing about you.

and sometimes I wonder if you think the same - but i mean... you say it yourself sometimes so it has to be...
I really dont want to mess this up because you bring out parts of me no one has ever seen
my whole world switched when you first stepped into it and you changed my whole reality when you confessed your love to me

and I know it's selfish to say but, you can have all of me if I can keep you all to myself...and you keep me.
because I dont need anyone else, you're the only one I ever want to be with.

Forever yours, Raeu.

Why is it special

Raeu Vogelsang, head of the Outer Balance, the organisation that governs the whole of Orcerta, was thought to be a nice but stoic person.
While he was liked by many and spread joy as often as he could, people tended to think of him as secluded and doesn's share his inner workings with anyone, especially not his true feelings.

This opinion changed once a letter to his partner got into the hands of the press. Everyone adored it and it got famous. Later, after his death, his wife published all letters he send in a small book called "Leader off Balance"
One of the many confessions of love Raeu send his partner Volin Fuchsbau .
Stating his love is eternal in every letter and proving it until his last breath.

How did it get published

While it was send as a private message to his partner, a lucky gust of wind swept it out of Volins window and it made its way into the hearts of the public.
