Dear Jessica,

You are such a wonderful friend to me. Now I feel all happy and restored again! Friendship covers a multitude of sorrows. :)

River, as you know, always gets to me, big time. :( But, please, no worries. At times, people have called me too cheerful, here. And, indeed, there's a great amount of Kaylee in me. But, more than cheery, I am, above all, a believer in the beauty of the human soul; and this, my outlook on humanity, is near indestructible, far as I can tell. It's just that I sooo feel for River. :(

Sometimes, however, the most respectful thing you can do for a person, is to just listen; and not try and detract one iota from their pain, or even try and pretend that you can make it better. And when I read River's last line: "Only no one could hear," I just, well, to borrow your beautiful words, my heart just stopped, too. :( Long enough, at least, for me to just see her clouds, you know? And not insult her with silver linings.

To just be there for her; if for nothing else, just to tell her I hear her; and that I'm near, and that she's not alone, in that gorram awful place. :( In reality, I must admit, I was not whispering at all; more like screaming off the top of my lungs: "River, I *do* hear you! Sweetheart, you are not alone!" And if space could carry sound, she would have heard me, too.

If River were real, Jessica, she would truly feel my Love for her. I just know it. And if you were standing anywhere near me now, you would assuredly feel it, too. In fact, I'm hoping you feel some of it right now, even from afar, for I'm sending plenty your way. :)

*hug*

That's so touchy Asarian! And Kayna, you are truly right - there is so much truth in that...
I feel so still, I don't know why but I feel as though my heart has just stopped...
Please stay happy though, Asarian! And just think, she may not be able to get the demons out of her head but River is no longer at that brutal place!

That's real poetical
You may not think it's uplifting but I do. Sometimes that's all you can do.
And even if it is about a fictional character it's real. There's a lot of truth there.
