My Heart is aching for you

My heart is aching for you. I wish I knew how to make this easier. Please don’t ever feel unloved. You are beautiful, and big-hearted, strong, and intelligent, and so precious. I love you so much. Do you know that? And do you know that although the way I love you has changed, it hasn’t diminished at all? In fact, if anything, I love you more and more every day. I’m afraid to say goodbye. Every time I do, I hope for a different reaction from you. And I’ll keep waiting. And one day, I’ll have the courage to ask you to stay. These age differences really make more of a difference than one expects. But it doesn’t diminish the depth or authenticity of my feelings.
