E,
Yep. I love you, no question about it. I thought the time apart recently would tamp that down, but it just increased it. I will take some steps to keep distance between us, as much as that hurts. I don't want to mess your career up, you've worked hard as hell and I'll be the last person to set you back. I am so proud of you.
Love,
B
E? It's B. I miss you so much, I'm sorry I've been gone. I'll be back soon, for a short time at least.
Coworker,
You are my favorite person to see every day. I think about that hug constantly, where I was just so relieved to be in your space again.I hope you don't see this, and I know you'll never feel the same way about me, but I cannot sit with this anymore.
You are the only person I've ever written a funny card to.
You are the only person I've ever truly ached over.
I love being in your space.
I love the way that you go quiet and let me concentrate on daintily tapping the bumper against the wall without destroying it, and then we laugh together about it.
I love the way you think, and how organized you are.
I love how strong you are, and how unwilling to break or bend your character for anyone.
I love how your hair fans out behind you when you sit in my office chair and kick your legs up against my desk.
I love that look in your eyes that you get when someone spicy calls and you don't want to deal with them.
I love your voice.
I love your old lady clothes and the way you thrift things.
I love how deeply you care for animals, even friggin rodents.
I love your attitude, even when I sometimes have a little trouble figuring you out.
I love the way you say certain words.
I miss you so much. You give me more strength than you know, even if we are just sitting in our separate offices, knowing you are there is of great comfort, and I feel like I can accomplish anything when we are together.
I miss our walks at the end of the day.
I miss how we used to joke on other people and do goofy pranks.
I miss us talking every day, about anything and everything.
I miss you.
With what I'm reasonably certain is love,
Other coworker
