To my dearest Hide,
Today is a special day isn’t it? I seem to keep missing it. I’m sorry. Do you know what my most favorite birthday memory I have of you? Waking up with you in the morning. If I can have that, I think I’d be a very happy man.
I am being sent away for a “job”. As to the details I’ve yet to find that out however even if I did know I doubt I can share it with you. Something tells me this is just a concoction to conveniently get rid of me for now but even if the job is just standing guard by someone’s door I must follow. I suppose it is just the way I am. Forgive me? I hope to come back in three weeks, although I doubt that would make a difference considering we’ve hardly seen each other and time had stopped moving. I’ve missed you. I’m glad we had a little time to ourselves a few days ago, although I’m not sure if I’ve really shown you just how much I missed you. I’m going to miss you still while I am away. Funny it’s easier for me to say this in a letter than in person. *chuckles*
Give Makoto a kiss for me. Tell her I love her very much.
As for you, I leave you a song. I know you’ve told me many times you’ll wait. I will still worry however… I suppose when a man has a woman he can’t live without… It’s only natural I think. Take care of yourself and our little ones. Have a little fun while I’m away. Just don’t forget who you belong to. Much like I won’t forget who I am bound to.
Happy Birthday Hime-sama.
Sincerely,
Hajime
