DIFFERENT WORLDS

I felt like writing some more today.

I sometimes look at us as a wartime love story. Something right from a movie actually. Like the "English Patient". Two people from different worlds, different cultures, and coming together as man and woman in the middle of wartime Baghdad; we have been through rocket and mortar attacks and we have shared heated passion together. Two people, two different worlds. Yet we still feel the same through distance and time. I will always want to feel the softness of your breasts, the kiss of your lips and the feeling of being inside of you while we make love for days. I want to make you moan with passion and scream from desire. I want to feel your long beautiful hair falling all around me, see the glow of your skin in the moonlight, hear the soft whisper of your voice, and smell the sea air from the open window while you are gently rocking on top of me. I want to delight in tasting you and you tasting me. I want to watch you get dressed in the morning light.

I feel good that your feelings are the same. I hope they stay the same, I really do. I want to believe it. Remember when I was going on R&R for the first time at Christmas and we were talking out front? I was telling you that I am different. You had some doubts because you have heard that before. Well, I have heard before from women that they loved me so very much, they were crazy about me, and it will never change for them. They said that we will always be together. I believed it because it seemed so good at the time and I wanted to believe it. I want to believe it now, with you. Do you believe it ____? Or will you grow tired and bored with me like the others?

I showed you I was different. Will you be different too? Tell me you are. Tell me that you will always want me even through the years as each bit of weight I might gain and each bit of hair I will lose. Through each period of time I am in a bad mood and each time I am difficult to deal with. Tell me, promise me. Promise me that. Promise me and I will promise you that I will always be there no matter how many kilometers separate us and whoever you and I will be together with in our separate lives; you can count on me that I will be there for you. You will always have somebody; you will never be alone.

I love you
