My dearest Celeste, I had hoped to return this to you in person, but I have barely had a moment to myself over the last day or so. No matter how much I wanted to, or with all the good will in the world, I could not make it back to you. There are so many obstacles on our path and many who seek to keep them there, but I promise that I am finding a way to remove them from my life once and for all. They have held me back from living my best life for far too long. You do not know how much I miss your radiant smile, beautiful eyes, soft hair, and calming presence. I always feel cast adrift when we are apart. You are like my anchor in choppy waters, my lighthouse in the darkest storm Without you, I feel less than nothing, like part of me has been lost and only seeing you again will help me rest
