Darlin,
I must step away for a few days, unplug myself from the grid. I have asked another question that I really don’t want to know the answer to. I will most likely not read it but instead, delete the entire thread when I do decide to rejoin the 21st century.
I do not plan on being absent for long. The modern world is far too demanding of our time, but I will be remain silent until then. I do not wish to leave you. This is something that I feel must be done. I believe you will understand.
It is not my intent to cause you pain but I know that may happen anyway. For the sting, I am sorry, but I cannot apologize for the action. Take comfort in knowing that I will return.
The truth is, you have become the reason that I get out of bed in the morning. That one thing that gets me through the day. Your words, sparse or otherwise, have become the air in my lungs, your smiles the blood in my veins. I have come to a point where I can barely function in your absence. I must find a way to sleep at night.
Please do not let your love turn to hate. I will not, nor could I ever. Instead, know that I will still wish you good morning every day and the sweetest of dreams every night. I will miss you deeply. And I’ll be here. Always.
Sleep sweet, my Love.
