remember when. remember when te, ut a me discesseris, lacrimasse moleste ferebam. quod si me praesente fecisses, consilium totius itineris fortasse mutassem

I am upset to hear that you wept after you had left me. If you had done it in front of me, perhaps I would have changed my entire plan to travel. But it is brilliant that you were consoled by hope of meeting in a short while; my own expectation of that sustains me more than anything. My letters will not be lacking.ALT

literally te, ut a me discesseris, lacrimasse moleste ferebam. quod si me praesente fecisses, consilium totius itineris fortasse mutassem. sed illud praeclare, quod te consolata est spes brevi tempore congrediendi; quae quidem exspectatio me maxime sustentat. meae tibi litterae non deerunt.

[cic. att. 15.27, translation by @e-pistulae]
