This is for my better half:
When I met you I was not planning on falling in love. I was not planning on feeling so attracted to some one, but you awakened feelings inside me that I had forgotten existed.
When I met you I didn't realize how much our love would grow that the attraction that first brought us together would reach beyond passion to the comfort of knowing, I have someone very special.
When I met you I had no idea where our relationship would lead us. How beautiful you would make my world but now I know without a doubt that the luckiest day of my life was the day I met you.
You are a blessing that my entire being is very thankful for. I feel that we were made to love, listen, understand, and work through all times in our lives together and individually. I feel that we have shared more time together than we ever will and I know there are many more special occasions and moments in our lives that will surprise and bring us closer.
I miss you and my love will reach any distance and fly to be in your dreams each evening that we cannot be together. I physically long for you each night and will see you in my dreams until we find ourselves wrapped in the love that grows stronger and deeper each day.
It is important for me to express how much you mean to me. I wish I could do this in person while holding you in my arms and gazing into your eyes. But since we are actually separated by miles of emptiness, this expression must come in the form of letters such as this.
Hon, I know it is difficult for you, as it is for me, to be separated for so long. Life seems to be full of trials of this type, which test our inner strength, and more importantly, our devotion and love for one another. After all, it is said that true love is boundless and overcomes all forms of tests. Our love has been assaulted many times, and I am convinced that it is true love because the longer I am away from you, the greater is my yearning to be with you again.
It is hard to see us apart, even unbelievable that you won’t be with me this valentine’s. I have always breathed with you and my thoughts were every time filled by you. Do you know that you exist in me? You were with me from very first moment I saw you and fall for you in different way. I feel so special with you because you are just too special.
I know that it will take some time for us to be together forever but as far as possible we have to bear this time with patient and growing love for each other. Also we should remember that we have a destiny to be united one day for the rest of our life.
Just have faith and trust in me because my heart has always longed for you. I know that you are somewhere in this world waiting for us to be together again. I always knew that you are God’s gift to me so that I can see this world through your eyes.
I know that people change with time but please don’t let your love towards me change. I don’t mind you to change physically because even if I am deaf and blind, my heart will recognize you because my heart only beats for you.
So remember that the distance between you and me could always keep us close in our heart. I know that the memories that I had with you will be pain when I take my thought back to reality but I know that you are always there waiting for me with even more charm and growing love.
I will count the days till I meet you again. Remember that whenever you see the moon and the stars, think of me because somewhere faraway from you I will be also watching the same while thinking of you.
You are my Charming Prince, and I am your devoted Princess. I cherish every thought of you and live for the day when our separation will no longer be. Until that moment arrives, I send to you across the miles, my tender love, my warm embrace, and my most passionate kiss.
I love you, Ivan…
…forever and ever
Happy Valentine's Day!
