12. Some Housekeeping

This is exciting, isn’t it?

Finding each other again and falling into one another like we couldn’t before is such a satisfying feeling. We have this shiny new you and me that we still get to explore and figure out.

Structuring and building a relationship is really a collaborative and creative endeavor, particularly if we pay attention to what we are doing. I think you pay attention. I am paying attention too.

I think we were right to put a moratorium on direct correspondence these past several days. I have not managed to disconnect from you, like, at all…but I have not even tried. I have not even thought about trying, really. I’ll be interested in knowing how things worked out for you.

It has occurred to me that you probably didn’t know that I could write some shit out until recently, when we reconnected. I’m not sure that I ever wrote very much to anyone during the time when we first met. And if you didn’t know that about me based on our texts, then you surely know now.

Bless your heart. Thank you for reading my words. I mean every single one of them and all of them are for you and because of you.

Well, let me qualify that. All of my words are almost entirely for you, but they are also, in part, for me…as I suspect you are aware. I believe I’ve said as much.

Is it possible we think about one another more when we can’t communicate? I’m not sure. I mean, I thought about you a lot before the moratorium too. So it’s hard to say. It was just something I considered while washing my hair. Literally. That’s what I was doing when I had that thought.

I don’t have the answer and I think I should probably have this conversation with you through some other instrumentality.

Baby sweet baby, I miss you a lot. I love the song you added to our playlist and cannot wait to hear it on your voice. I am laying down for a little afternoon nap and I’m playing our highlight reel. My memory of you fills a vault in my mind.

I am so looking forward to making more memories.
