I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way.
I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is really just a squeal of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become. I suppose you are accustomed to people saying these things. Damn you, spoilt creature; I shan't make you love me any the more by giving myself away like this-- But oh my dear, I can't be cleaver and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have broken down my defenses. And I don't really resent it.
