The fifth attempt of a love letter from a desperate man.

My Dearest Quincy,

Oh how I long for the times I could still call you my wife!
That word meant the world to me.
A wife isn’t just someone that you marry because you love and it makes sense.
A wife is someone you would do anything for.
A woman that your entire world revolves around.
A woman that makes you want to get up in the morning. That makes you need to get up in the morning.
A woman that with one look made me want to do anything I could for her.
A woman that was the only one that could make me feel truly happy.
A woman who is the only one I could and ever will love.

A wife is someone whom with you share your best memories.
And we had plenty.
My first memory of you. Dying to sit next to me in our first potions lesson. You were quite stunning even then with your oversized uniform, pigtails and grubby white knee socks. I knew straight away I was going to marry the girl with the pigtails when she smiled that broad toothy grin at me. Missing the front tooth. And you were really nice to me until I asked to borrow a quill. I’ll never forget the look of disgust that was shot in my direction from those stunning green eyes. From then on we both knew where our relationship would go.
I’m glad I asked you for that quill. I’m glad I’d left mine in my room that day.
You became my best friend that day.
I wish you could be forever.

You and our children are the best things that could have happened to me. Three, soon to be four lives that we have made together. I can’t explain what a big thing that is. It still amazes me now and I am so glad it happened with you.

You were really something when you were carrying Noah, though. I swear it was in those final months that you were quite literally able to breathe fire. But I couldn’t have loved you anymore. That fire breathing dragon that pulled me out of work to rub her feet never looked so beautiful. She was carrying my first baby. Our first baby. And she was positively glowing.

I wish back then I’d know how to appreciate the gift of waking up next to you; words cannot describe how much I miss the sight of those magical green eyes that would brighten up my every morning. The mere thought of not having you close to me is excruciating, because you Quincy - you made me a better man. Without you, I am a lost soul, a hollow, empty shell, a pathetic replacement for a person I once was. I am dying to hold you in my arms and I am afraid like never before that I will forget how that feels.

For everything I have done to you, I apologise, but know one thing; I will love you and only you forever.

Eternally yours,
Edward
