In the sunshine, drinking Pimms, a little worried about you but hopefully you are ok now that you have had some water and tea(?). It was so very good to speak with you again – three days in a row – more than I could have imagined – but now as always I will be sad that for the next few days I wont have any time with you (except by messages which are very lovely) until perhaps Saturday. But Saturday will be lovely – to see that radiant smile of yours will be just magical.

I know that you are sad and I know that you worry about things here – I know that you feel vulnerable – I understand. Please do tell me if there is anything more that I can do to reassure you – to make you feel safer, more secure. Much will perhaps not be achieved / apparent until there is a material change in both our circumstances but in the meantime I do want to try and reassure you, to give you confidence, to show you that you are loved and wanted and that my feelings for you are real and long-term and that you are secure and safe in my heart.

Days will pass until we see each other again – they will have good moments and bad moments for both of us. Each of us will seek some solace in thinking about the other – and for me that is part of what love is. The warmth of your love reaches across the sea so that even though you are so far away I feel safe and cared for every minute of every day. I hope that my feelings, emotions and love for you protect you and support you too my darling. You are so definitely perfect and I love you my beautiful one x.
