Here I am sitting at my post, and I had a few minutes, so I thought I’d send you a little letter, to tell you I love you. Duty has been going fine, I guess - I am getting anxious to get done with this and go home. I’m looking forward to seeing the place you set up. By the way you describe it it sounds beautiful - but you know you don’t need a nice house to lure me home. We could live in a dump if it means I get to be with you.
I was sittin’ around playin’ cards with some of the other boys the other day, and my mind went wandering off to you. You are so beautiful. But you know, it’s not your beauty that pulls me to you either, it’s something else. Maybe it’s everything together. All I know is that to say “I love you” feels too empty for what I feel. I want you, I need you, I care more for you than I can say.
I remember when we met - you called me. You had been watching me for a long time. I don’t know how I missed you, with eyes like yours. Well, I’m glad I answered that call, ‘cuz you have changed my life.
I can’t wait untill you get to come and pick me up, and take me home. I suppose only your dad knows when that’ll be. Who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky and come home early. Whatever happens, I just want to let you know that I love you. Amen.
