Darling heart,
As you read this angel I'll be thinking of you, and thanking God for giving us the opportunity of opening our hearts to each other again.
Don't worry too much about me darling, I'll take care of myself for both of us.
I'm sorry my leave wasn't as pleasant as it might have been but I'm glad you understand dearest.
You're the most precious jewel in the world my beloved and I love you with every fibre of my being. Our love is like a perpetual, consuming flame, fed by every touch of our hands, our embraces, caresses and kisses, burning fiercely within us both and quelling triumphantly every obstacle placed in our path. Let us keep our love so, my darling and we may surmount the highest mountains in a trice and look out onto the sordid life below us with clean hearts and souls, secure in the strength of our pinnacle of love, enjoying complete
[page break]
tranquility [sic] and a depth of understanding between us second to none. Oh my darling our love will never fail us, but spur us on to better efforts in our struggle for survival in this world of hate and bitterness.
Vee my angel always believe in me as I do in you, and believe as I do that our love will live forever.
Be brave darling and hide your tears, I'll be home to hold you again before long and it won't come soon enough for me.
God Bless you Beloved,
I worship you.
Ken. [kisses]
