Words of Love

My Angel,

Hi my beautiful girl. How are you? It's been a while since I last wrote a letter for you, things are getting pretty serious here. I miss you and our little munchkins. My mates here are teasing me how love-sick I am because I would tell them a bit of our love story and our own little bundles of joy, but of course I would never deny it. (I even think they're already smitten-ly in love with you, if that's even a word, but of course you're only mine, so with I am you.)

The first time I laid my eyes on you, I already knew I was a goner. Every time I close my eyes I would always see your sparkling-blue-ocean-eyes, your breath-taking-smile, and hear your most angelic voice. I am truly madly in love with you. I wish I can go back to your warm embrace and let the war of this world shut off. I wish I was there beside you every time you wake up, and wished to never let you go. Don't worry baby, just another 365 days and then the military can go on without me.

How're the kids? I hoped to see them each and every time, with you of course my beautiful wife. It's February isn't it? I'm not even sure if this letter would even reach you at the month I've written this, but whatever, Happy Valentines my love. I love you so much.

I miss you saying those words of love to me. That I am the one, that I am your only man.

I love you so much baby girl and I'll never get tired of saying those true words. Even though we'll have a football team of kids or even when your--our--hair turns silver you'll always be my baby just like what would Aerosmith would sing but of course from me. I love you more than life itself or anything my precious queen, and my forever angel sent from above. I don't think I can ever thank God for how much blessed I am because of you and the gifts you gave me. A part of you and me.

I'll see you soon, my love.

Sending love,
Your Knight in shining armor,
Ethan Drew Knight xx

P.S. I'm sorry for the wrong grammars because I know how much of a nerdy you are, but don't worry you're my nerd after all. I love you Rosie Anne Connor-Knight. ;)

I've lost count on how many times I've read his letter. It's already been 4 and a half years since I last saw his perfectly sculptured face. Now here, standing in the middle of the field we wait, I and my twins, for our beautiful soldier's arrival. There aren't a lot of camouflage hats being worn but finally, finally I saw him.

I let my kids run to their hero as I walked and tried to control my emotions. I didn't know how long it took to walk into his arms. But until I reached out to his face, I cried for joy, that he's still here, that he didn't die out of the cruelty of the world, that he survived. I put my head in the crook of his neck and smiled lightly. I felt him hug me and I hugged him tighter in return.

"I'm never going back, my love. I love you so damn much to leave again." I felt him smile against my neck and that's all it took me to know I'll be in his arms forevermore.
