Though the days can pass like mere minutes, it seems like an eternity until you and I shall be together again. Many miles lay between us, but I'll not waver -- I wait for you still ... and you alone.

The clock ticks and irritates me, yet I endure its dreadful noise for you ... grasping firmly to the promise of tomorrow, the promise of holding you in my arms, kissing you gently, smoothing your hair, and touching your face.

My Darling, I live for your smiles, and die for your kisses. Please hurry, Love, for I grow impatient.
