Finally had a few minutes to sit down and have some time to myself with you. It is such a joy to hear you in my head. You soothe the noise until it goes and then all there is is you with that smile, your kindness, our closeness and the intense emotions that you bring to me daily. I miss you this evening – I just long to hold you close to me. Today is confounded by your email – the intense love that you provoke in me is profound.

I know that there will be times this year when we are apart – it won’t perhaps be easy, but together we will get through it. We both want “us” – I certainly need “us” and I think that you do too – and so we will nurture “us” with each of us helping the other through the time apart. I will write and write and write – and when I am away I will call too. I know that it is not the same but….

But before then, we have so much to enjoy together. Our trip is only a few days away now and I am so looking forward to it. It will be great whatever happens and we will have time for ourselves. We really need that time I think – again I certainly do and I think that you do too. Time to share, to enjoy and to explore each other, learning and strengthening the bond between us.

You are the most amazing person – an astonishingly beautiful woman who fills my life with so much happiness and love.

I love you my beautiful one x.
