Love Letters

I still can taste the tears the day I had to leave you in Islamabad 

Sadness and fear ripped at my insides 

I had felt this once before the day I left you in Dubai 

That time, I was able to hide my tears from you 

I cried all the way back to the US, every cute couple hugging in the airport 

Holding each other 

Reminders of me, reminders of you 

Reminders of our love and how perfectly we are together 

I felt all those feelings rushing back into my heart that day in Islamabad 

I could not hide the tears, and silently, they began rushing all around 

Until a tsunami of tears exploded 

You held me in your arms 

You gently wiped the tears from my face 

You kissed me sweetly 

You kissed me completely 

You promised this would be the last hard goodbye because very soon, we would be living together in the United States 

I will face all the hard goodbyes because each trip we get, we have the most beautiful, amazing hellos

I love you 

Please hurry home
