I went abroad this winter to travel on my own for three weeks. He wrote me letters everyday and gave them to me when I got home. The second letter I opened said this:
“At 8am this morning, I woke up short of breath. You were on my mind. I had tingles across my body and there was tightness in my chest. My heart was beating fast and hard, and I felt like all my senses were heightened. Since this morning, every time I think about you, the same feeling comes back. Even as I write this letter, my heart is racing and my hand feels extra sensitive to this pen. At 8am this morning, I realized, Callie, that I Love You.”
I love you too Derek.
