To My Dearest Love,

My wonderful Carrot Top.

I'll see you again, I promise.

I remember the day when we first met.
Your beauty blew me away.
I instantly knew that a God must exist, because he let me meet you.
It was but a brief moment in my life,
But it was the highlight of my life,
Seeing you for the first time.

I remember the day when we had our first date.
You looked stunning.
At dinner, I couldn’t seem to find any intelligent words to say to you.
But you just gave me that adorable smile,
the one that made me fall for you, and you took my hoof.
I was so nervous. But the look in your eyes made me know that you were the one for me.

I remember the day we shared our first kiss.
It was on your front porch.
I caressed your trembling body in mine.
I could feel a sense of longing coming from you,
One that I would hope to satisfy.
When your lips pressed against mine, I held you tighter than ever before.
As I gently held you in my arms, I knew true happiness.
I knew that I loved you, but more importantly...
That you loved me.

I remember the day we got married.
Our love was the only thing that mattered that day.
As you walked down the aisle toward me, tears streamed down my eyes.
You were the only thing visible, you and your magnificence.
I couldn't believe what was about to happen.
I would get to spend the rest of my life with the mare I love.

I remember the day, when you told me you were going away.
I cried with you, all day and all night.
But you assured me that I would see you soon,
That I would see you again.

I remember the day when you told me goodbye.
How you weakly touched my cheek, and gave me a farewell kiss.
The world seemed to stop for that moment.
If only for that time, everything was perfect.
I was with you, and you were with me.

I remember the day when the doctor said…
That you were gone.
But it's okay,
Because after I walk the battlefield today,
After I stand my ground on the front lines,
After I take my place among the heroes of our home…

I'll see you again, I promise.

Love Forever,

Soarin

This letter is a treat, from the author that struck me with inspiration. His story "Secrets Behind the Letters" gave me the first hint of an idea, which grew into what you see today. It's an honor to have a letter from him.
