Love Letters to My Husband, Each Night

Har minute meri shohar Umair, mein hun arzoo

Another night 

I lay here aching for you 

The sounds of night are hollow 

With every breath, a deeper longing to feel you lying next to me 

With every breath, desires flames consume me 

I am spiraling down

Down to where there are no sounds 

Only sheer force 

Willpower 

And desire pulling you closer to me

Across oceans 

Across deserts

Across seas 

Across approximately 8000-ish miles

My heart pounds out your name, Umair

8000-ish wishes carried off through the stars

I ache to feel your arms around me 

I ache to bury my face in that place on your chest that is mine alone 

I ache to feel the warmth of your skin softly touching me 

I lay here needing you like so many nights before 

I lay here longing for sleep to beckon me in 

For in my dreams, those miles disappear, and I race to you 

I love you 

I love you 

Happy 8-month anniversary a little early
