To my dearest Kari,
I wish I could see your face one more time. I wish I could see a smile light up your face, adding a breathtaking twinkle to your eye. Such eyes that sparkle in any light, for any reason.
There are times when it is almost too much to be near you. Every time I see you, my love for you wells up in me, urging me to you, telling me to take you in my arms and never let you go.
I swore to myself that I wanted to protect you, but I have broken it countless times and it kills me every time I do. I cannot stand seeing you hurt because of me. It breaks my heart whenever I see you in pain.
However, I cannot give preference to you, even though you have done so much for this country and me. You have done more than enough.
My heart lingers with you when it should move on, for I know we can never be together, but I will find a way. If you feel the same.
Please tell you do.
Zachary
