wrote a letter to my lover...

"The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." - Jalal ad-Din Rumi


[This is what the letter says in the photo]


My Darling,

It's been a lifetime since I saw you,
& a heartbeat since I left.
Your kisses remain upon my lips,
I long to hear your breath.

Your fingers caress me gently,
I lay with your silhouette.
Your smile that greets me each morning,
a voice I can't forget.

I long to see the mocha swirls
that reflect light in your eyes,
to feel your body pressed to mine,
& bathe in sunkist skies.

I find myself waiting here again,
for the day when I arrive.
To feel you, hold you in my arms
the reason I survive.

The nights here are getting darker
& the days they just drag on.
I count the minutes, the seconds, the hours
& find myself alone.

I watch them slowly disappear,
I hear the echoes loud.
I reach out only to find air,
yet I must stand tall & proud.

But soon I will be home with you
instead of this endless fight.
Enrapt in your embrace, your laugh,
that brings me such delight.

Until we meet again my love...
