The Love Letters #1

Dear ...
     I must admit that I have been so out of touch with letter-writing that I do not even remember where greetings come in or whether I should just skip them and move on to the gist. I will still give my greetings to you all the same, warmly so, and while we are at it,  would you please do something for me..? Please? Thanks! :-) Take your right hand and put it on your left shoulder and your left hand on your right shoulder. Then close your eyes for a minute and think of this as me hugging you :-*
It is what I do sometimes when I really miss you, and even though it does not suffice, it makes me sleep better at night and leads me on to dream that soon you will be the one that I will be holding.
     I am doing OK and hope that you are doing good too, but I rather hear it from you, or better yet, read it when you write me :-) It is just two weeks since we were together and in the period since, time has confused me totally. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday and the next moment it seems like it's been forever! Bottom-line? I really miss you.
Every morning when I pray, I more than mention you to God and mention myself soon after, so you can guess what my prayer is...
     Lately I have been searching; searching for a very important thing I lost when I met you; a piece of my heart, the piece of my heart that I am fairly certain is with you...I really don't want it back, I just want to be sure that it is you that's got it ;) And I hope you're trying to find yours too... :)
     I look forward with great anticipation to hear from you, but with even greater anticipation to be with you and to break words, laughter and bread. Until then, I can only count days, hours, minutes...something which missing you has caused me to become a master of.
     I pray that these feelings I have for you are mutual, but above all, for God's blessings to be on you and His continuous grace to always redeem you so that in all days, I will always find you in Him.


Yours to say 'yes' to,
Benjamin Sulle
