A Soldier’s Love Letter *** My love, Out here, the rain still finds me— quiet, steady, like the space your voice has left. There’s no one to catch my tears when your letters don’t come. I wait between long days, in borrowed rooms and passing time, reading your old words like they might still mean the same. They say it happens— distance grows where love once lived, and sometimes a letter arrives that ends everything. A “Dear John” … just like that. Still, I hold on. Every drop carries your name, every silence feels like goodbye, and I wonder if you still think of us the way I do out here. Because despite the miles, despite the quiet between us, my heart hasn’t learned how to let you go. If you’re still there— write to me before the rain falls again. I’ll be here, somewhere between duty and home, waiting… with love.
