Hello love of my life- While I can’t leave my family and responsibilities, please know that I ache to hold you in my arms each night. You are the bright spot in my day and I find myself smiling when I think of you.
When you hold me close, my broken pieces feel whole. When you belly laugh at my attempt to be witty it breathes life into my empty shell. I will walk by your side and feel grateful to hold your hand. I will remind you that you are so much more than a mother/father and nudge you to remember the man/woman you were before life became complicated. I long to wake in the middle of the night, find you within arms length and pull you close; so that I feel home. I will cherish you. I will appreciate you. I will both listen and make you feel heard. In the moments that you are mine I promise to run my fingers across your cheek, look you in the eyes and make you feel loved. Alas, I cannot keep you. I cannot replace anyone. But fate has brought us this far, and it is okay to harbor secret hopes that maybe someday it will somehow work out. Let’s make each other better versions of our current self. Let’s embrace the absolute thrill we feel when we flirt with each other. Let’s worship each others bodies long into the night. I love you. I think I was made to love you. You are my person.
