When I Need You


Did you know the day I traveled to meet you, I looked for you everywhere in the crowds.

Anticipation and longing filled my heart in a way impossible for me to describe 

Every day since then, I have looked at the mountains of obstacles we face each day, all surrounding getting you right next to me! I wouldn’t and won’t change a thing you are my forever! I love you!

I still stand here by your side, looking for you everywhere!! Need you even more every single day! Want you more with each passing day! I ache for the moment when I will open my eyes to see your face, your smile, and touch your hands instead of answering the phone

In each of these moments, I am profoundly grateful for you, the love of my life! Hear the words, I will scream them out loud for YOU and the ENTIRE world to HEAR there isn’t one single moment I would give up or change! Want you! Need you! Love you, more and more!

Most days, I have a culmination of feelings. Happy, overjoyed, and so incredibly in love with you. I am eternally grateful we are life partners. I ache to touch you, feel you, need you by my side. Sadness in missing you each day, missing you physically because regardless of pesky different country obstacles, we spend our days and nights together. Sadness surrounds the mountain of bureaucratic tape that makes getting us together in the same country a challenge. I love a good challenge and so do YOU! No worries though if anyone was ever in doubt if our love was real, and the fire we have walked through to be together when the ash clears we will show them exactly what the Umair’s are made of.
