S.,

I love you. It's been a very long time since someone has moved me so emotionally and this last week has shown me just how much your opinion of me impacts my entire world. This doesn't trouble me, just surprised me a bit.

The last year for us has been a long time apart and a short, fun, sometimes challenging, time together. With our two energetic personalities I wouldn't have expected anything less. 

In the last few months, I've had the opportunity to learn so much more about you. And the new things I've learned are so wonderful, so special. You have so much kindness in you, for your friends, the people you love, and for those you've never met before. When I think of what our purpose is, in the largerst sense, it boils down to just being kind. And you've somehow mastered it. Your vivacity, humor, intelligence, passion, and flexibility are all just bonuses on top. 

Going another year apart requires a lot of sacrifice, and just as much trust. Over this year I will do my best to grow with you and plan a future we can both thrive in. I often find it difficult to sacrifice some of my freedom and passion for worldwide living, but I can foresee a future where we make it work. I can only ask for your patience and grace as I figure myself out more and continue to better understand our relationship in all it's complexity.

I wish I could be with you today. Our current space seems wider than it has in the past, but I'll do my utmost to make the days we do have together meaningful in the utmost.

You have all my heart.

Forever,

Kalvin
