A poem comes to mind, and he hears the cadence of it so clearly in his mind.

There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say...

"If I could tell you I would let you know."

He turns back around, with the intent of explaining why he can't say these things. The look he finds is so poignant on Julian's face, it takes him a moment to recollect his thoughts.

"I'm no poet, but you were missed, Julian. Terribly, terribly missed."
