The things that are done for love:

I did it because of you.

I stepped out of my existence - leaving all that I had achieved. 

Not giving my future more thought than in that moment. 

It never occurred to me that many years would pass before the future existed.

My words of love and encouragement poured out of my lonely and lost heart. 

I gave you my heart, my soul, my needs.

You took them and added them to your plan A.

You entered into my life because you were escaping from yours.

The many years of pressure and stress: the many years of a loveless existence - taking toll upon your health.

Then came a day when a total stranger - said hello.

Thousands of words committed to text - hundreds of photos shared for pleasure.

Countless hours we screened - just to see each other’s faces, and bodies, and expressions upon a plastic tablet.

Through no fault of our own - events and circumstances (out of our control:)  delayed every departure date.

Yet nothing has haunted the desire to be together …
