Mountain country is beneath me, the start of it anyway. Barren, rocky wasteland. I know the ground level will start to rise and the peaks will start. I’m looking out of the window, guessing you are out there somewhere, a different heading aiming at the same destination. I know you’ll be scared, I know you’ll be looking at the mountains as they rise up beneath you, looking like they will touch the plane. I wish I was with you, to hold you and distract you, to laugh with you and whisper in your ear.

I see the first peaks now, huge lumps of ground pushing up into the sky, incredible scale, vast distances with nothing but rock, the peaks now showing snow, how tall are those things? Mind bending. I feel close to you now, you told me to look, you told me to enjoy, you booked me a window seat so I could look. You knew I’d love it even though you wouldn’t, you are incredible, I wish I were with you now.

More now, orangey sunset reflecting off the snowy peaks, the shape of the ground is as if it’s a carpet of roughly scrunched velvet. A few clouds drifting over, let’s see if the peaks show through.

Announcement: A little over an hour to go, I wonder if you’ll be there too. I made a sign.

I can’t wait to be with you, the butterflies are back, I’m renewed, energised, reminded of the want and need I feel when you aren’t here, with me, where I think you belong. I’m running the scenarios again, what will happen when we meet, when we see each other, will you want me, will you be disappointed, will you kiss me. I know I’m going to hold you A.LOT.

I’m excited about the next phase of our adventure, I have no idea what it entails, everyone says the destination is incredible, unbelievable, surreal. Honestly, if you are there, I care about everything else much less, I’ve some ideas for our adventure, imagination restored. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, this short interlude has certainly been an eye opener for me, but I’ve found some plus points and turned the negatives to an artistic output. Watch this space

My love, you’ve endured so much this week to be with me, I’m flattered, humbled. I guess I should take this as the ultimate validation and stop with my wobbles, thank you, thank you. I love you, all of you. I owe you a massage, pain relief and a whole load of pampering, expect it.

Universe, this planet is incredible. I need to see more, I need to show my goddess more, I want to share it with her. Make it so, please.
