LOVE LETTER
You are always on my mind, I can't stop thinking about you. The first
thoughts when I wake, and the last thoughts before I go to sleep are of
you. I am such a lucky guy to have found such a wonderful woman. I miss
you so much, it has been too long since the last time I saw you.
Your smile is so beautiful and magical. Every time that I think of your
smile it lights me up inside. Even when I am having a really bad day,
seeing you smile makes me want to smile too and it makes me forget
about the previous events of the day.
Caitlyn, you must be the most caring person on earth. You seem to have
an unlimited amount of patience and kindness. Every time I make a
mistake you are right there to support me. The time that you drove 300
miles just to take care of my sick mother when I was away is just one
example of your big heart.
I have had such a great time with you no matter what we are doing. As
long as you are around, even doing the most mundane activity is fun. I
hope that we'll see each other every day when I come back, I want to
spend as much time with you as possible. I miss you so much.
Love always,
