"Dear friend, you have no idea how it makes me feel to have you put your arms around me and give me one of your earnest affectionate kisses with that smile on your lip, that light in your eye, that look on your face, that I know so well, & love so dearly. I would cling to your forever to be loved that way--it is so pure & sweet a love."

Oh god this is the sweetest thing, I am reading love letters for this rough draft and it just makes me want kisses mmmmmm
