You have come to mean so much to me. I close my eyes thinking of you and when I awake you are there still. As I work I wonder what you would think. I used to like to get imput on the things I do but eventually I just did my job and kept it to myself.1
Once again, I find myself wanting to share with someone. I want someone to share myself with. I want someone to share herself with me. I wasn't suicidal but the idea of living a long life wasn't in my heart. Now my short term goals are getting longer. I allow myself to dream a bit now.2
In many ways it's scary. I open my heart to all and don't mind getting hurt, I expect it to happen. But for you Jenni, my heart opened wide. It's completely bare and your's to do with what you want. I know how we met was impossible to see coming. We have allot of space between us, but I'm here. What ever part of me you want is yours. 3
I can go as slow as you want and need. This isn't just a short term thing for me. We've both been hurt by those we thought loved us, by those we thought loved us. We both have high, thick walls to keep from being hurt. I want/need you to understand 4
I don't think of this as a game (even though I'm having fun with you) to me. Your very real to me and I want to be a part of you for a long time. I want you to be a part of mine for as long as you want to be in it. Even if you said goodbye to me today I would have no regrets.5
How can I put into words how special to me? Do the words even exist? Is it something I can only show you? Even the pangs in my heart I feel when I miss you are precious to me. I haven't let that part of my heart live for such a long time. I thought it was dead. You Jenni, brought it back to life. Because of that, it belongs to you. 6
I don't want the words of this simple little letter to scare you. Your worth taking this as slow as you need. We can take our time to build the perfect foundation. Your worth everything, your priceless to me.
I just met this girl a few months ago and it's a long distance relationship. Any advice would be apreciated.

first of all, congrats on making long distance work, that's really freaking hard.
second of all this was a really nice piece. It's exactly what most people want to hear in a relationship but I can tell it's heartfelt. I especially identified with paragraph 3, about opening your heart to someone, it's very hard but if you give it to the right person, it can also be very rewarding.
A couple quick edits you might want to do: in paragraph 3 "your's" should be "yours", in paragraph 4 I would take out the / between want and need and just throw an and in there, or commit to one or the other.
Everything else is great good write

If this hadn't been a sincere letter to Jenni, whom you love, I would have said that you had the beginnings of a very good novel or novella. It is intense in feeling, you keep the intensity flowing throughout. That's a touch scary to me.
I do hope you get together soon and see how your relationship develops.

I am crying because I know EXACTLY how you feel. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year, and we dont get to see each other very often because we live far away and go to school/uni and work as well. It is really hard, but when the love is strong, it is worth every bit of pain that you have to endure. I say keep going strong. Because no matter how hard it is, things always get easier with time. And when you feel that something is right, it usually is. This may sound corny, but... Absence makes the heart grow fonder! All the times you go without seeing her will make the time that you do have with her feel so much more special. And this is all coming from someone who knows exactly what you're going through.
This was written so well, so heartfelt and beautiful. I loved it, and I hope it all works out for you!
