I can still feel your lips on mine and your body in my arms. When I lie in bed at night, I think about all the things I would have done to you if we'd been alone in that room.

When I'm at work, I'm constantly cataloging every moment I want to talk to you about. Then I look around and realize you're not there and my heart breaks all over again.

I meant what I said, I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you, so keep yourself safe.

I love you.

After you left my head was spinning. All I wanted was to be with you again. I can't stop thinking about the way you kissed me. Last night I dreamed about being with you.

Everything is going okay. I've been spending a lot of time with the girls I told you about. I'm getting closer to them every day.

I worry about you too. Be safe, my love.

Have I ever told you that you have made me a better man? When we met, I was in such a dark place. I didn't think my heart would ever be healed. But then I met you and it was like you were the sun and I hadn't realized I had been living in darkness.

With you gone I miss feeling your warmth. I miss you.

Today was hard. I'm fine, don't worry. Although I can't lie, I love how you worry about me. It makes me feel safe. That one time, the really bad time, I got through it because I knew you would save me. And you did. But there isn't much you can do for me right now. Physically I'm okay. I just miss home and you. And it's...a lot. Making new friends, understanding all the rules. I'm making progress though. I just wish I could take a break and be home. I just wish you were here.

The time, the bad time, was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Because it was happening to you. I still dream about it and I wake up feeling like I can't breathe.

Maybe that's why I feel so out of control now. I know you can take care of yourself; I've known that since the first day I met you. But I hate not being there to watch over you and keep you safe.

I'm glad you're making friends but remember to keep your guard up. You don't want to be too trusting and end up getting hurt.

I have been spending a lot of time with my new friends and I'm getting to learn a lot more about them and the girls they run with. I can't wait to tell you all about it next visiting day.

I'll be glad when I can see you face to face and tell you everything that's going on. I'm okay, don't worry. Things here are just different. You'll understand when you see me. Visiting day is coming soon and I'm counting the minutes.
