to Anna, my love

The last ten years without you have been torturous. Your kiss, your touch, your gaze... I miss this. I miss your presence, your body huddled close to mine, your arms tight around me.

We pledged our love to each other. We've made love so many times I've lost count. We've spent our lives together, growing together in every way.

To lose your heart would be to lose my life.

The great divide is all that keeps us apart. Our physical separation may seem inconsequential, but the fact of ten years has drained me emotionally and psychologically that my sanity is on the brink of collapse.

Our souls became intertwined, became one in essence. Why must time tear my soul for this lack of intimacy?

These ten years should have been filled with our timeless love expanding, but instead has been filled with loneliness, hopelessness, exhaustion...

I love you, my dearest Anna.

I love you, Anna, and forever it shall be.

Anna, I beg you to return, for this love shall eternally be yours. No other can claim it.

Anna...

I love you.

Anna...

Forever in my heart shall you reside, regardless of whatever life gives us...

A life of loneliness awaits me if you do not return.

Anna...

Please return, for life otherwise will never treat me with kindness.

Anna, I love you beyond all measurements, beyond all understanding...

Anna, without you I have no purpose.

Without you, Anna, for what do I have to exist?

These past ten years have wrecked me. To touch you would bring healing. To kiss you would soften my heart. To express my love would rejuvenate my soul. To hold you would bring tears to my eyes. To see you again entirely would my mind release.

Anna... please return, for time without you otherwise hasten my end.

Anna, my dearest... I love you.
