Martha Gellhorn, from a letter to Eleanor Roosevelt featured in The Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn

[notgetxo]

she called me obsessive once

and instead of reassuring her, I took it so personally as an accusation of being solely lustful, that it's been eating me alive

but darling, every beautiful place I've ever been to, every moment of happiness, I wished you were there to experience with me

when away from you, I don't think about anything else, but you

when away from you, my love for you never fades

when away from you, I simply hope you're safe
