Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

Hold me

July 5, 2026

Please hold me,
hold me now,
and do not wait until later,
because I have waited too long already my love,
and all through the day I have suffered being away,
yes, away,
away from you, the one that I love,
yes, my true love,
yes, my dear,
oh, please do come and hold me in your arms,
and let me once again feel your delightful charms,
and fill me with you compassion,
and caring and cheer,
and let me hold you so tenderly,
and let me hold you close,
and kiss you again so gently,
because I have had enough of separation anxiety,
and the day it has been so cruel to me
and you,
you treat me so beautifully,
and you kiss me so wonderfully,
yes, oh, my darling,
how greatly, how greatly I have missed you!
