Hey Spheal. I miss you. I haven't seen you in 7 weeks. I won't see you for three more. It's the longest we've ever been apart.

Well, besides the nineteen years that went by before we met.

 

Those were long years.

 

You know I love writing letters, and you know that sometimes I can articulate things more clearly through writing that with my mouth… sometimes. There are exceptions to that rule. Kissing is one of them. But you're not here. So I can't kiss you when you're not here.

 

But this is one of the reasons why I love you: Because we haven't seen each other for almost two months, I don't have cell phone service most of the time so we can't text, and sometimes I forget to log onto skype and I don't get to see you much.

 

But I love you because even though so many things get in the way and stack up against us, you're still faithful, committed, and waiting for me. And that is something a lot of girls don't have. I appreciate it more than you know—the simple fact that I know even if we go days without talking, when I finally see or hear you again, you won't be mad.

 

You'll just miss me.
