My Darling Sweetz,

Thank you for talking through the immediate aftermath of finding out I won’t be able to take that test until March. We talked about a lot of things today besides that. Many of the things we discussed were fun. Like when we talked about coffee enemas and weird vacation rentals. But I wanted to make sure to mention the part where you were there for me. You were my sexy sounding board.

Seeing you at the top of the stairs today while I was out in the alley with my puppies made my heart skip a beat. It’s that primacy of the first moment I see you upon our reunion. My eyes get sore from looking at the world without you, and you, my sweet, sweet baby, are a salve for my sore eyes.

Your presence restores harmony and balance for me. Being with you is the most natural thing. It feels like we grew up together on the same street and then one of us moved away right before high school and now we’ve reconnected in adulthood. It’s this sense of deeply established familiarity i have when it comes to you. It’s as if we shared point of origin before we diverged and established our respective lives and circumstances, That’s why coming together with you feels like reconnecting with a fundamental part of myself.

My heart, my body, and my soul belong with you.
