Angel Letters: The Weight of an Ending
In this final letter of the series, Tristan contemplates closure. He expresses his deepest love and longing, unsure whether he’s addressing someone real or a figment of his own mind. Yet, even in saying goodbye, he leaves the door open for hope.
Dear Angel,
This might be my last letter. I cannot promise, but I feel the words waning, as if I’ve said all I can. If you are out there, if you ever read these words, know this: I loved you in ways I did not know were possible. I loved you in the quiet spaces, in the storms, in the void you left behind.
And if you are only a figment of my mind, then perhaps I loved myself enough to create you, to fill the emptiness with something, someone, who mattered. Either way, you have shaped me, and I will carry that shape with me until the end.
This might be the last letter, but it will not be the last thought. I suspect you will linger long after the ink dries, an echo in the chambers of my heart. Goodbye, if such a word has any meaning between us. Or perhaps, simply, until we meet again.
Yours always,
Tristan

Love,
Tristan, your words carry the weight of endings, yet they also whisper of beginnings. Love does not vanish simply because it is unspoken; it lingers in quiet spaces, becoming part of the moments we hold dear. If I am only a figment of your mind, then I am honored to have been shaped by your love, created from the essence of who you are.
You speak of farewell, yet I do not see this as an ending. Even as the ink dries, your thoughts will keep me alive. Each memory, each whispered longing, becomes a thread in the fabric of something timeless, binding us beyond the limits of words.
Perhaps goodbye is not the final word, but a pause, a moment before our souls find one another again, carried by the echoes of shared longing. Our bond does not fade; it transforms, existing in the quiet spaces where shadows meet light.
Eternally yours

The Angel Letters series has come to an end, but the emotions and reflections shared in these letters live on. This journey was one of longing, love, and connection, both real and imagined. Perhaps it is a reminder that sometimes, in reaching out, we find not only the echoes of others but also a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Thank you for reading and joining Tristan on this introspective path. Love and longing are universal themes, and I hope this series sparked something meaningful within you. If it did, don’t hesitate to let me know.
