100moods: Romantic

Present day

Will walked over to his desk, ready to sit down at his computer and send an email to the man he loved. He paused before booting up, though, and glanced at the notepad and pen next to his keyboard. Smiling, he wondered if he should write Orlando a love letter instead. He'd always thought it such a romantic gesture but something that had gotten lost in the age of instant messaging and emails. Looking at his computer again, he debated for a few moments before finally picking up the pad and pen and settling in to write a letter for his love.

Darling,

When I woke up this morning, the first thought that entered my mind was how much I love you. I turned to tell you and realized that you weren't lying next to me. There was an instant when I was sure my heart would break at seeing that cold, empty pillow. In that moment, I missed you so much, I couldn't breathe. When it passed and I remembered that I'd only seen you in my dreams and you weren't really pressed up against me, sleeping soundly, I turned to the one thought that could comfort me. I know that the day will come when you and I won't have to live our lives with any restrictions or judgments. We'll never again have to spend a night apart. That's the only thing, the only thought, that makes being without you bearable.

I don't know exactly when you became such an integral part of my life. I can't pinpoint the second I lost my heart to you completely. I only know I can't imagine an existence without you. I feel so consumed by you it's as if there's never been a moment in my life when I haven't loved you. You are the most beautiful and amazing man I have ever known. You are a gift, and the fact that you love me is the greatest blessing in my life. I miss you every day that I'm not able to sink into the warmth of your eyes or be comforted by a smile so bright it rivals the sun. The touch of your hand, the taste of your kiss, the heat of your body moving against mine as we make love - these are all things I miss when I'm not with you. But not one of them compares to the thing I miss the most. It's that perfect moment when you're holding me and I put my ear to your chest to hear your heartbeat, as steady and strong as our love.

I want to spend my life with you, showing you every day how much you mean to me. One lifetime together won't be enough, I know, but I live with the belief that no matter what lies ahead, I will always be by your side.

All my love, now and forever,

Will
