I miss you on the weekends, Sir. Is that too sappy to say in public?
You've often left me tongue-tied and speechless; but lately especially. I'm referring to our writings. I'm sorry you have had to wait so long for it. I thought a public apology would be appropriate. You deserve the respectful consideration.
ETA: Two hours later and it seems so short what I've given you. I hope you enjoy it. If you like, I can continue it from there.
