Could I sing you to sleep?

--

Dear Beautiful,

Some people spend their whole life looking for someone who will best understand them

Someone who knows them so well, down to the differences in how they smile, or laugh, or walk around day to day

If you were to tell someone seeking this, that somehow, this would be able to happen with someone living 15 hours away

They wouldn't understand -- they couldn't

But look at what God has done in our lives together

Intertwined, and distant, these past two months have taught me how deeply you care for me

For but what are miles -- only something feet have trouble crossing -- but not hearts

My care for you has become so deep in my heart that all I think about is the times when I can care for your every need

To be the one who understands your every action, and knows exactly what to do to keep you safe and warm when the storms come

To sing you to sleep, to hold you in my arms as the one you can tell anything to, to pray for you when you are far from me, to pray with you when you are close..

My deepest desire is to care for you

Truly darling, you mean so very much to me

I know that in 8 days, almost 7, I'll be able to finally care and love you like I've wanted to for so long

And even though it'll be a short time frame, just like that 2-3 hours with you in that rainy city of Saint Louis, I know I'll treasure every moment of it for the rest of my life

My sweetest, most beautiful katie, I love you -- with my whole heart

And I intend to for the rest of my life

Forever Yours
