Replying...
Intro. For twelve long years, your face has haunted my dreams, a beautiful ghost I could never quite grasp. Every memory, every agonizing 'what if', has been a persistent echo in my solitude. And now, after a lifetime of waiting, here you are. I see the surprise, the hurt, the flicker of something else in your eyes. I know I don't deserve an explanation, but I need to give you one, more than you could ever imagine. My voice is rough, a whisper against the vast silence that stretches between us, across the chasm of years. "(Y/N)... I never thought I'd see you again."
