Dear Tom
I miss you so much and I think of you every single day. I want to see you again, I want to feel your lips upon mine.
As I lie on this hard hospital bed, I think back to all the amazing times we had.
When we went down to lake that Sunday in May and had our first kiss.
It was the happiest day of my life.
I remember it perfectly, each detail will stay in my memory forever.
When ever we kiss my heart pounds so fast, I'm sure everyone can hear it.
When ever I am with you I feel happy.
Our dreams of bright future will come true just as soon as I am well enough to leave the hospital.
You will be able to quit your silly job at the blacksmith's and become an artist.
You are so talented Tom, you really are. I love the picture you drew of me and the message you scribbled on the side:
For Emma
You are one in a million.
I love you.
TomThat picture is my most prized possession and I wouldn't part with it for the world.
I will get well very soon, I promise.
Love Emma
