No I will not tell you my true name. It has been many years since someone spoke my true name... I was beginning to have a budding romance with her and she spoke my true name. The true name has power and it's often unexpected. She was as suprised as I was and I think she had assumed that she had offended me. I was not offended. I was suprised. It's been so long since anyone said my true name. It's something I want deep down but it would be wrong to just tell people what my true name is. It's close to a divine name. So much older than the name I've had in these last few years. Even the people who always knew my true name rarely use it anymore. I had just wanted love and respect but people had used my true name like an insult or as if they deserved to control me. As if they were above me. Now I am feared in a way and people do not speak my true name. I just have a secret wish that someone would know me, respect me, and love me again to the point where they could hear my true name ringing like a bell's peal from my soul and call me by that name again.
