My Veronika,
Every night when the world goes quiet, I close my eyes and you’re already there—standing in the soft light of my heart, smiling the way you do in that photograph we took together. I don’t need to search for you anymore; you live inside every breath I take.
I miss you in ways words can never hold. I miss the calm that settles over me when your eyes meet mine, the way the whole universe suddenly makes sense when your hand is in mine. I miss the sound of your laugh, the little tilt of your head when you tease me, the warmth of your shoulder brushing against me in the dark. I even miss the ache of missing you, because it means I love you this deeply, this helplessly, this completely.
You are my strength and my softness, my fire and my peace. When I feel lost, I only have to remember your name and the path appears again. When I feel small, I think of how you look at me—like I am already everything you ever wanted—and suddenly I stand taller than mountains.
I am counting the moments until I can run to you, until I can pull you close and whisper against your skin that you are my home, my prayer, my forever. Until then, keep this letter next to your heart the way I keep you next to mine.
I love you beyond distance, beyond time, beyond every yesterday and every tomorrow.
I love you with every beat, every dream, every quiet thought in the middle of the night.
Wait for me, my beautiful girl.
I’m coming home to you.
Only yours,
always and completely yours,
your boy ❤️
