051 // Basically, this is the only GOOD meltdown she's ever had.

[NOTE: This is a voice entry. Hurley left Libby a few things, including a letter--the letter is handwritten on paper, however, and doesn't show up here.]

He was here...he came here, all I ever wanted was for him to come here so I could see him again, but...

[She's crying quietly.]I would have given anything to see him face-to-face, so I could

I think you should read what he wrote in your diary...

[thatlibbychick]

I did, Dru, and I don't know what to say. I didn't think...

I didn't think I deserved to be forgiven. I thought that if I ever got to see him again, and I told him everything, he'd hate me--and that would be right. I think I might have even wanted that, because I needed...I thought I needed to be punished by him...that he needed to take something away to make up for what I took from him, and the only thing big enough was his love.

I think I forgot exactly how good he is when I decided that.

[deathly_dru]

I can see you... A bird whose just found out how to open her cage.

You've forgotten how it feels to spread your wings.

[thatlibbychick]

Maybe I did. I haven't felt so together in a long time; not since I was able to be with him.

Thank you, Dru, so much...for being so kind to him. It means the world to me.

She is totally unsure of what to say to poor Libby, but absolutely sympathetic.

[naughtbutlife]

He sounds a good soul.

Aww! :c

[thatlibbychick]

He is, Angelica, he really is. I wish I could tell him how much this means to me, but I think he knows. I think he knew when he was throwing it all together and that's why he left so much for me.

I love him so much.

Are you okay, though?

[naughtbutlife]

To take such great pains in making certain that nothing went unsaid, he must be. Sometimes forgiveness and acceptance can be so much stronger and more moving than just love on its own.

I am as...I am. Somewhat hurt, but mourning once more.

[thatlibbychick]

I'm sorry, Angelica. Do you want to talk about it?

[yousethimfree]

You shouldn't talk about selling your soul so lightly.

Private

[thatlibbychick]

I came close enough to it in life. Really, taking that final step to make it official wouldn't have made much of a difference, before now. But now, everything's going to work out; I can feel it. And I do appreciate your concern.

Are you okay?

Private

[yousethimfree]

Does it matter?

Private

[thatlibbychick]

Of course it does. Why wouldn't it?

[hopeless_hacker]

...I'm glad it worked out for you, Libby. I wasn't here, obviously, but...Hurley sounded sweet.

[thatlibbychick]

Thank you, Tosh.

Was this flood good for you? I didn't expect for it to have ended up so badly for so many people.

[hopeless_hacker]

It was...it was fine. Just fine.

[thatlibbychick]

You don't sound so sure of that.

[Private]
If there's anything you want to talk about, you can trust me.

[thegooddrjones]

I am very glad that I got the chance to meet Hurley, Libby. He was wonderful and sweet.

Private

And glowingly proud of you. Really.

[thatlibbychick]

Thank you so much, Martha. The pictures...all this time I've been here, I've been afraid he might have been hurt or killed. But he looked healthy, didn't he? He looked good.

He's really something special, isn't he?

[Private]
I know, but I can hardly believe it. He's got the biggest heart...

[thegooddrjones]

He looked healthy. Very healthy. He looked good. And yeah, he really is special. And adorable. It's to bad he wasn't here longer, I would have liked to have gotten to know him better.

Private

He really does, Libby. I think he was one of the happiest people to be here for you.

[thatlibbychick]

...

I'm so happy that there's someone else here who can understand so well.

The next time I see you, you're getting a big hug.
