I know that you're going to tell me that I'm experiencing either transference or emotional dependency. I know that you're going to tell me that this has everything to do with Irene Adler. I know this, and I know that had I said any of this sooner, you wouldn't think that way. If I wait any longer, no matter how long, you always will. So it doesn't matter. You make me a better person, you've made me recognise that my life is always about me, but about the other people in it, that I can't always do what I want, that I can't always put myself first. I see value in myself beyond vengeance. And you are the most incredible person that I have ever met. You're more intelligence than I am, you have endless scope and understanding, you're selfless, you're perceptive and I have no doubt that in many ways you'll exceed my capabilities as a detective. There are ways in which you already have. The only difference between us is the fact that I can blow out experience, personality, and past from fact, that my approach is cold and yours isn't -- you have faith in people to be good, you have intuition that I don't and I -- truthfully, never want you to lose that. It doesn't make your skills lesser, it only changes your approach. And what I'm trying to say, in this -- in all of this -- is that I love you. As a friend, and as a partner and as the one person who I've made a connection with that has mattered enough for me to make a difference in myself. It's strange, of course, because so much of what I'm saying relies in part to observation of us elsewhere -- the same applies here as well. If not more so here. We're the only two from our world, and no amount of other Sherlocks or Watsons will shake that. It's still you and it's still me and I always want it to be because -- I want to share my life with you. I want to be a part of your future and I think that means that I'm in love with you, but it's not like anything I've ever felt before so I can't be sure. |
