‘Dear Sana,

The classes are long, the teachers are relentless and the language is confusing, to say the least. Of course, none of those things can compare to the gnawing in my chest, the hollow in my heart at the distance between us.

I miss you.

I can't wait to finally graduate and come home to your arms - for good. There have been too many nights, mornings when I have yearned to wake up to you. We won't have to be apart any longer.

I don't think I could bear to be apart from you any longer.

Undoubtedly yours,

Mina.’
