To You and the Sparkling World You Make All Around You



I want you to know that I wouldn’t write this sort of thing for just anyone.

You make me want to write good stories.

You make me want to write bad poetry.

You make me want to be a better man.

You fill my idle thoughts with wonder and force me, constantly, to reevaluate everything that I once held as a constant. And when I say “once”, I mean “last week”. You’re like a train that has crashed through my wall and I can’t even explain how that’s possible – because no trains come around here.

It has been a long time since I have felt like this and, when I am feeling the full weight of it, it feels like I have never felt like this before. It feels fresh and powerful and gaping.

And last night, when we made love too quietly, it felt – I felt – for once, as if everything was in its right place. It felt like I was home again, even though it had been so long that I had forgotten what being home felt like. I haven’t had a home in so long that I thought – that I felt – maybe too quickly and maybe too briefly – that I was there again inside of you.

So I wanted to say thank you for becoming a part of my life, for better or for worse. I wanted to make you smile the way you have made me smile for the entire brief time I’ve known you.

I know you will read this tonight. And that makes everything, everything I have ever done, better.
