The Dimmed Light of Hope

Dear Uche,  

Not knowing when I will be able to see you has been haunting my days. I read so many articles on long distance relationships and having something to look forward to was high on the list of things that keep the spark of hope alive and mine has been shattered. You are so calm about this. I admire how you can face adversity with a steady hand. I, on the other hand, am shaky in the face of setbacks, though I do recover…eventually. Another reason why I need you and why we need each other.

One good thing to come out of this delayed visa process is that I am becoming more and more sure that you are the person I want to be with. You are such a constant, reliable and joyful part of my everyday life that I would never want to imagine any of my days without you. It’s a good thing I don’t ever have to think of that because you are mine forever. And, I too, am yours always.  

Xoxo,

Vic
