Title: Silent Message
Author: Dana Mulder
Summary:  A letter detailing just what Mulder feels, but can't put into words.
Rating: G- or should I say 'H' for heartbreak.
Disclaimer:  I do not own Mulder and Scully.  I just want to borrow them to express the 
love I feel for another, that I too, cannot have.  Please don't sue me, for I have nothing 
anyway.  We all know who owns them......<CC, 1013 productions, etc....>

For Paul.  I never did explain just what you mean to me, the circumstances
in life just wouldn't permit it.  I found something out on the interstate,
I found love.  As the lines of the highway pass, I feel only you. 
Someday. 


Silent Message

Fox Mulder sent the letter with care, and sealed it with a kiss. 


Dear Dana,

     I find it difficult to speak words to express how I feel about you. 
Every day I spend time trying to figure out just what I would say, or how
I would tell you what you mean to me.  You are the amazing person that
turned my life around and gave me the opportunity to see what love is.  I
thank you for that, and I wish there were a way to show my gratitude for
all you have done for me.  I have found the love that most people only
dream of.  When I feel the strength of your embrace, or the warmth of your
breath on my neck, I feel the power and beauty of the world through you. 
If our lives are a circle, or are written out only for us to follow, then
surely I am meant to spend eternity with you.  I cannot believe that a
just God would wish me to suffer alone, without your touch. 
     The world is as vast as the ocean, with all the possibilities and
dreams contained within it.  You are the warm breeze that keeps my sails
full and my ship headed in the right direction.  I only wish that I could
have done or said more before you left. 
     As you walked out that door I felt my heart tear in half, and I knew
that I would never be the same.  I could never love another as I have you. 
Love is the most powerful feeling that a soul can experience.  Love takes
your breath away, and leads you to a peace that cannot be explained, only
lived.  I am thankful that I had the chance to love once in my journey,
and will cherish the memories forever. 
     Some day it will be right for us, in another time, or perhaps another
place.  Until then, live in peace, my love, and remember all that we
shared. 

Love Always,

Fox

If the time and place were right, then they could find the love that is
contained within.
