So I know I’ve only been at camp for about forty eight hours at this point, but I have to say, I didn’t think leaving you would be this hard. I know I get to call you every day but, it’s not the same. I want to hug you, I want to kiss you. I want to just stare into your eyes for all eternity.

Can I come home yet?

I suppose it’s not camp’s fault that it has separated me from you. My campers are adorable. They’re all insane of course. Then again, who at camp crazy isn’t. They seem to have this limitless energy. I think I’m starting to see what you mean about my energetic ways. They’re like puppies. Constant attention is needed. I swear, I caught Joey holding Max under the water this morning during swim time. Apparently it was “for science”. I am not going to last the summer.

But it’s strange without you, Kurt. I’ve become so used to having you by my side. I find myself constantly turning to laugh with you or to tell you a joke, only to realise that you aren’t there. It’s weird. I know it’s only a few weeks, but honestly, it’s as if the universe is plotting to keep us apart in the few short weeks of summer we have. But don’t worry, I’ll be home before you know it.

Which leads me to a question I’m sure you’ve been puzzling over, why on earth am I writing you this letter? Well, it’s pretty simple. The lack of you in my life has led me to appreciate you even more. I want to tell you that I love you in every single possible way. And hey, what could be more romantic than summer love letters, eh? I know, I know, I can practically feel you rolling your eyes from here but just, try it, ok? Humour me.

But tell me everything, Kurt., tell me everything that I’m missing. There’s so much you can say on a page that just doesn’t sound the same down a telephone wire. I want to spend my summer with you and I want you to spend yours with me.

I’d better leave it at that for now, before the mushy monster completely takes over my brain. I’m pretty sure I just saw Max sticking his head into a hole in the ground through this window. I think a chat about the boundaries of science experiments is in order.

I miss you and I love you.

With all my heart,
Forever yours,
Blaine
