To You:

So, I’m off tonight. Away from you for three nights. I rarely spend three nights in a row away from you. Already I’m looking forward to coming back to you. If I need a smile, I think of you smiling at me; if I need a laugh, I imagine you waging an epic battle against a veterinarian with modified iron sponges and sarami wrap.

Why are you so cute? Why do I love you so much?

I didn’t want to fall asleep last night. I didn’t want to lose the sensation of your arms wrapped so tightly around me, your tummy hair tickling my tummy, the thump-thump of your heart against my cheek…

If I could, I’d like to go my whole life wrapped in nothing but your arms.

I’ll be away from you this weekend, and I don’t like the thought of it. I hate driving away from you and knowing I have 800-1000 km to cross before I see you again. I don’t like to think of you sleeping alone in our bed, and me, alone in a tent hundreds of km away.

But then, I’m being a bit melodramatic maybe. Maybe not.

It feels like we haven’t even begun to be together; this past year and a half and one day has past so quickly. I hope I’ll always feel this warm, rib-crunching hug of love that I feel for you. You are good for me. We have our big differences, but who else do I trust? Not many. Who helped me through some of the roughest times? You did. Who supported me when I was completely on my ass? You did. Who has stood by me through pms and worse? You have. Who makes me happier than I ever thought I could be with another person?

You do.

See you soon. I love you.

Oh you made me cry and you're not even writing to me! LOL This is awesome. Tommy Boy is very lucky to have you and vice versa.

Next time I have to leave town for work, I'm going to plagiarize this entire post. I might switch a word here or there, like km to miles, but other than that I'm going to copy it word for word and give it to Silver. This is exactly how I feel when I have to go cross-country for work.
