Dear Jack,
It has been a long and beautiful journey that you have taken me on and here I am apart from you once more. Apart for the special time of year Valentines day….the day that we call our own. The day you proposed to me and told me you wanted nothing more than for me to share your life as your wife. I thought that day you made all my dreams come true but there have been times since then which have made my love for you grow greater than I ever thought was possible.
I had been told when I was younger to get real who would ever really love and want to be with me. People told me to wise up that I would never fulfil anyone’s dream or passion. But I’m me and nobody can take that away, I am happy with who I am, perhaps not when I was growing up, but now…now I am content and happy just to be with you. How nice it is to have someone believe in me as you do. Although it is perhaps a class act that it took us so long to admit the way we feel…felt at the time, But Jack it was worth it, it was worth every minute I spent dreaming of you. And dreaming of you is nothing to having you in my life, a part of my life and part of me.
I was going to send you an email but I thought a letter was just so much more personal, and could be cherished and re-read when we are apart. You know I will be home soon, I hope that the dream team are keeping you occupied with work, say hi to them. I miss you, all of you. But especially you and the children. Send Billy and Emily a kiss from their Mommy. Looking after the children and coping with all works pressure’s will make a new you or so my mother says.
I miss you with all that I am, I have three wishes this Valentine’s day Jack. Three wishes that I want to share with you, even though we are apart, you are here, right deep in my heart, engrained in my soul. To feel you hug me; your arms enfolded about my frame, making me feel home, just where I need to be right now, home, enveloped in your arms, in your heart. To kiss me, to feel our lips meet and dance a dance that is ours a dance that we made, together you and I. And lastly to be home soon.
Charm me with your magic, teach me, whiz kid with words of love and touch me with your beauty which shines from within your heart, your heart which beats with mine as one. Start now to count the minutes and dream until we will be together. How nice it will be when I return, I hate to be apart even at times like these when extended family needs are greater than our own.
You are my true love, every day you are my new love, although you remained my one and only love. I love you now and ever after.
Happy Valentine’s and 10th anniversary Jack.
