My Love,

It is has been five months since I have gone to sleep to the sight of your chest building and falling to the rhythm of my own. Five months since the warmth of your palm secured me and gave me the strength to continue. These are the times when I need you the most. Bombing takes the place of your heartbeat. Fear replaces our love. The sun doesn't feel the same on my skin without you next to me but the wind feels like it just pulling me closer to you.

I wish it would.

I would be lying if I said it wasn’t lonely around here. I am surrounded by other guys at all the times of the day yet I feel alone. I need you here and want you with me. 3 more months.

Tell me about your life at home. Share with me your days. I miss your voice and the way each word matches your eyes. Write your bad days, and your good ones. Tell me when you wake up in the morning and when you're about to go to bed. I want to imagine my life with you until I may have that chance again.

I love you more with every moment apart. Now I may sleep with you on my mind and forever on my heart.

Sweet dreams…
John
