When\u00adev\u00ader I&nbsp;lament the dis\u00adtance between us, \u00c2&nbsp;I&nbsp;remind myself that it will make our first meet\u00ading all the sweet\u00ader. Though in my imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion I\u2019ve touched your skin and breathed against your hair so many times, I&nbsp;think it will be more like com\u00ading home than a&nbsp;first meet\u00ading. \u00c2&nbsp;In fact, there are times when I&nbsp;awak\u00aden dur\u00ading the night and roll over, expect\u00ading to find you&nbsp;there.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you\u2019re read\u00ading this after a&nbsp;won\u00adder\u00adful day at work, l, and I&nbsp;hope I\u2019ve had the chance to speak to you at least a&nbsp;dozen times in between.

We\u2019d been chat\u00adting for what, six months? I\u2019d already con\u00adfessed my love, and I&nbsp;was still scared shit\u00adless to push that send but\u00adton. But then you said hel\u00adlo, and every\u00adthing in my chaot\u00adic world fell into place. When I&nbsp;first heard you laugh, I&nbsp;thought I&nbsp;might be able \u00c2&nbsp;to fly. Even now, remem\u00adber\u00ading that April day last year, my heart feels so full. I&nbsp;want to run out onto the side\u00adwalk and share this with the world, but at the same time I&nbsp;want to keep each beat of my heart to myself, rev\u00adel\u00ading in each pulse as a&nbsp;reminder of your love for&nbsp;me.<\/p>\n<p>Every\u00adthing we\u2019ve worked for this past sev\u00aden\u00adteen months, four days and twelve hours will fall into place, and I\u2019ll spend next Valen\u00adtine\u2019s Day in your&nbsp;arms.<\/p>\n<p>Now again, the hard\u00adest part of the night, where I&nbsp;must say good\u00adnight to you, as it\u2019s get\u00adting very late here.
