My dearest Hephaistion,

You must be confused about the amount of letters I sent you, while you're so far away from me. Do not mix them together, for the other letters are purely political, meant to guide you on your mission and update you about what is happening here. While this one, is for you only.

At night, over the empire I watch, and stare at its many lights. I feel the cold breeze on my face. I turn around and you're not by my side. I cannot forget your blue eyes and how well they portray your strong and yet almost seemingly venerable soul. How much I miss you. How much I miss embracing you, and being able to feel the warmth only of which you have. I look at our empire and wish you were here to see how it developed in the last few months in which you were not here. Sometimes I sense a feeling of regret sending you so far away where I cannot see you, but my thoughts change as fast as they came for you are the only reliable and trustworthy comrade I have. I beg, do not get upset over my words, for they are only spoken through a lonely heart.

Remember the many battles we fought side by side? And the moment we entered Babylon. By Zeus, it was you. Only your face which I remember. You were always with me. You are the only one which heard my hopes and dreams, and you shall continue to be the only one.

Before I end this letter, once again I would like to remind you how your beautiful blue eyes, have captivated me. I long for you.

Return to Babylon safely, and once you do, come see me at once. I will not fail at embracing you nor telling you how much I have longed for those sweet and passionate moments we have shared together.

It is only you, whom I love.

Truly yours,

Alexander.
