Hi. I know that. I don't know. These past couple days have been rough, haven't they?
I didn't think that being apart from you would hit so hard, but it has. So, I'm trying to remember our first kiss.
And I want to say it was, what, our third date? The ice skating rink? I think that was it.
The first real one where I could feel your hands on my hips and I felt your heart beating faster.
I don't even know, maybe that was my heart. But your hand trembled as it pushed my bangs out of my face and you leaned in.
And this soft sigh left my lips. Four months. Four months since our first kiss and we've dived deep into this.
Like, the crazy people that we say we are, right? The I love yous, the dates, the restless nights, both good, kind of restless.
And the ones where stress just gets to us. It's nice having you there. This trip. I hate it.
Because I just want to curl up in your arms, have you play with my hair and hear about your day.
Ridiculous as it is, as you say. I just want to be in your arms. It's the best place to be.
I realized that on the first date. And we were in the movie theaters and you did the cheesy yawn arm stretch. Oh my goodness, baby.
Really? That was your move? But I fell for it. And you did this thing that you always do where you hover your hand, waiting to see if I'll lean in.
And I did. And you rested your hand on my elbow and you squeezed me in a little closer.
I remember thinking, he's gonna make me feel safe. He's gonna make me feel happy.
And you have. And tonight I miss you. So as I lay in this cold hotel room, dreading tomorrow and the next day.
Because those are days that you will not be with me. I want to let you know that I love you. That I appreciate you.
That the minute I see you, I will probably tackle you. So prepare for it. You have no choice. And that I hope your nights haven't been too restless.
And that you're probably one of the best things that have ever happened to me.
Keep the bed warm. Feed the fish. You better have not have eaten all of the cereal. And if you did, replace it. Get the good coffee, please.
And because we have been gone from each other's arms for so long, you're going to need those energy drinks just this time around.
I will not. I will turn a blind eye. Because I'm going to keep you up all night. Take care of yourself, babe. I can't wait to come home to you.
