Holding Space...

Near the end of our last call, in the quiet just before we knew we had to part for some time unknown, you looked down, tears in your eyes, and asked me what would happen if I had met someone, or things had changed when you found me again. I answered then, but with things running short, I didn’t answer as fully as I’d have liked, as fully as you deserve. If this letter finds you, I want you to be able to come back to it, no matter what, so you can remember.

No matter what happens, no matter how long it takes, I will never stop loving you. I will never stop wanting you. I will never stop being willing to do what it takes, because there is nothing, no one, that can take the place of you in my world. Though it aches just now, that emptiness where you have been, and where I hope with all my heart and soul you will be again, it is sacred to me, and I will hold that space for you until I see you again. I love you, and I will be right here. You will never lose me.
