“Let’s get married,” you implied as we stopped to admire the townhouses.
“Yes,” I agreed, “but not to each other.”
And I continued walking.

In Lonely Walks Home
You waited for me and walked me home safely every time. How blind I was then. Please walk with me now. Please.

In Growing Up
“Childhood, where have you gone?”
“I’m right here where you left me.”
“Can I go places with you again?”

In Trouble
Please don’t smile like that around me. My heart is too weak.

In the Distance
Just because things aren’t the way they used to be doesn’t mean they never were.

In Perfect Facticity
You need no court’s validation for what you believe. What the laws of physics say cannot uproot the truth in your heart.
You know and I know. Nothing more is needed for this to be real.

In Faith
Every Christmas, during the hurriedness of the holiday, I promise to remember you. Just one day out of the year, I’ll remember you. The comfort of your smile. The joy in your movements. The way your eyes glistened. The hope on your face and in your voice. The moment you saw me in the crowd and held on to me.
I promise to remember the way you made me feel. Through all the struggles. All the accomplishments. When you left. Or when you thought I had. The tears you held back when you realized I was still here, waiting.
And I’ll wait for you as long as you want to come back, dear friend.
Just one day a year, I promise. I can’t take much more.

In Filtered Lighting
I see you. I’m sorry it took so long.
But did you know that you portray yourself differently when you’re with other people? The you when you’re with me is not the you when you’re with them. Or them. Or them.
You shouldn’t be afraid of stepping into better lighting.

In Words Never Read
It is enough to know you wrote a thousand drafts of what would have been your first letter to me. Thank you. And congratulations on your marriage.

In Communion
I was sitting at the table across from an empty seat and posing curious questions to no one. Where were you?
I can’t recall what it was that I wished to share with you at the time, but the food was good.
