Where happiness exists, there is also sorrow. Where there is pleasure, so is pain. To get to where one is headed, one must first start the journey, and the more impatient one feels, all the more that one should learn to wait.

Waiting is hard. I feel your frustration and your pain because they are mine too. But waiting is the best thing for both of us right now, because there are still so many things we need to do.

We may be separated by an ocean and thousands of miles, but know always that my heart is with you. You are waiting for what we both want for our future, and I am here waiting with you. As long as we both know that the path we walk on is just one path, with one definite destination, you can be assured that no matter how wide the distance that is between us, my hand is firmly in yours as we walk down this path. Please hold on as I am holding on.

I love you, and I will always love you. That is all that matters.
