Spending a week without you was too long for my heart, but it also served to confirm how essential you are to me. Each day apart only increased the longing for your smile, your voice, your unique way of captivating me and making me feel special. You are intense, beautiful inside and out, possessing an energy that moves me in a way that no one else can. Talking to you again after this time was like breathing again. May we never need to doubt what we feel, because the longing we feel for each other says it all.
