I Miss You

Hey Babe,
Just an open letter to tell you how much I miss you. It takes some getting used to, you being so far away from me, but I guess I'm getting there. I knew you moving to another country would be difficult, but I also understood how important this was for you. So many of us center our lives around selfishness, i.e. personal relationships, never taking into consideration that there are more important things in life one can accomplish other than appeasing the fears on an individual. I do fear that you will return a different person-one I no longer know. But what's most important is that you grow into the individual who pleases you, not the one who pleases me.

Letting you go was one of the hardest thing in life I ever had to do. But to stand in the way of your destiny would have been something neither of us would have forgiven me for. I feel a deep sense of loss but I also feel joy associated with encouraging you to pursue you goals and dreams. I believe that true love resides somewhere in the midst of letting go. Truly loving someone sometimes means that you have to set them free in order for them to be happy. I know that the distance between us is difficult for you-you've said so many, many times before, but I believe we will both be better people for enduring this experience.

So many people profess to know love, but so few do. Love is about sacrifice and sometimes that means that you might even have to give your life for the person you love. If people knew the true price of love, I wonder how many would embark on the journey? I think we've lost perspective of what love means-and what we have left are artificial relationships that are meaningless. Anytime there is any pressure they collapse because they have no foundation and aren't rooted in anything solid.

I'm happy we have something meaningful-something that was built on the Rock of Gibraltar. We both know that no matter what happens between the two of us, our love was real. I want you to enjoy your adventure and feel secure in the knowledge that my love is still with you-no matter where you are. Be you here or thousands of miles away, my loves travels with you and I carry you in my heart forever.

I know that we aren't the only two people on the planet that know this love-there has to be many more. What I do know is we've found the meaning of true love. We know the price one has to pay, but we've also known its reward.

Travel safely and when you return, I will be here for you, always.

Love forever,

The Prince
