=========================================
Letter From the Heart
by Julie Burnham

To: Special Agent Fox Mulder
From: Dana Scully
Date: December 31st, 2000

My dearest Fox,
   I'll be gone by the time you read this letter.  I wanted you to 
know some things, things I couldn't say while we were partners.  I 
treasure the times we've spent together, but you must know that -- 
after seven years of cases, you've become a truly valued friend.  I 
just wished that it could have been more.
"I thought that I knew all there was to know/ I knew all about love/ 
I lived the highs and made it through the lows/ I knew all about 
love/ but know I must admit I'm surprised/ and feel I've only 
scratched the surface/ 'cause baby when I look in your eyes/ I 
understand my one true purpose/ You were sent to me/ by angels up 
above, I'm certain/ I thought I'd show you what love can be/ but what 
did I know/ until along came you/ to teach me about love/ oh yes, 
along came you/ to teach me about love..."
You taught me that love... happens unexpectedly, and while I never 
had the courage to tell you how I felt, I think you knew.  I knew I 
loved you from the first minute I walked through your office door.  I 
knew, with as much certainty as you believe in aliens and abductions. 
 You were right, though.  I saw the aliens.  They really are up 
there.  Saying goodbye has never been easy for me, although we have 
both had to say goodbye to a lot of people close to us.  This is the 
hardest goodbye I've ever had to make.  I wish you luck in searching 
for Samantha and the Truth.  Good luck, and (tearstain) goodbye.
                           Love,
                           Dana Katherine Scully
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As Mulder sat reading the letter for the thousandth time, he wished 
that he had been closer to Scully.  <Unfortunately, what's done is 
done, and we cannot change the past.>
