Sat in a meeting – my turn to daydream about you. Thinking of our trip abroad and our time together – learning about you, enjoying being with you building our own memories outside of work. Talking all day on the plane, all afternoon in the bar and so much more – fun, enticing, exciting, tender, arousing, peaceful – heavenly.

Every day I pinch myself – just to check that this is real. Now we are apart, you can’t tell me off (!), so I am free to say once again – I do not understand why such an amazing and wonderful woman like you would want me. I do not understand what I bring to you at all. But I do absolutely trust you – I do believe you – I just don’t understand it. But every day you show me even more love and affection than I could possibly have imagined and sometimes that just reinforces my feelings of “why me?”. And what accentuates it is the fact that you are so very different in the way that you treat me compared with any other woman I have known.

So I need to say “thank you” – thank you for loving me, thank you for being so kind, thank you for caring and worrying and thank you for letting me love you. You are mesmerising and enchanting and I am utterly captivated by you.

You are exquisite and I love you so very much indeed x.
