The gentle lilt of one of your “hello”s today just enchants me – so utterly beguiling and captivating that that single word sustains me in my loneliness for days. To say “I have missed you” is just so weak and inadequate but with words it is perhaps the best I can do for now. How I long to see you so that I can show you how I feel.

But then my heart breaks when I hear the sadness in your voice – I am beside myself with how inept and ineffectual I feel. Again words just fail me. If only I could scoop you up in my arms to care for you and keep you safe, I would – I wish I was there for you.

You are so very beautiful in every way – I love you.
