240. I love you. You love someone else. It’s not really complicated. But day by day I find it harder to understand.

Under the smudged black ink of every letter I write you is another letter entirely, a secret love letter in whispers and foolish hopes and the invisible ink of my breath.

You sit in parks with me. You allow me to give you dinosaur nicknames. You joke around about leaving me for my brothers.Do you know that you are perfect? I do.

I love how your toes curl in when you get excited while playing video games, and how you laugh like a 12 year old girl.

All the thoughts I could voice that would change nothing – thoughts that cannot slow the world – dwell still at my core. I move and can feel them, pushing out from under. They are there, within, nonce purposed and left. No bursting forth will come; there is no salvation for the parceled out heart. The body senses what is gone and at the same time realizes that the pieces that remain are not meant to do, that these holes cannot be plugged from within.


But these are not the pains of forgetting, wounds left unnoticed until times of crisis. No, these legs of whales are constant and ever kicking out from inside. I feel them when I go to speak, they try to run and leap – to bridge the distance between us. That look of anguish on face, the appearance as if I have been gut-punched, it is all true. To speak to you is to be kicked from the inside.

you might read this, because we talk on IM every night and share links, and i might be silly enough to send this one to you. i love you. i love that we love music and being creative and idealistic and that you are a careful driver and we both like zombie movies and that we can almost-cuddle on a couch without having to say a word. and you cook the best spaghetti ever. and even if we’ll always just be best friends, that’s okay.

I’ll see you soon, I’ll out run the moon. I’ll hold your hands and warm your heart until you need me. Just tell me you love me. Persistence. remember? i love you and i am waiting.
— i

and i know i haven’t said it to your face in years, but… i love you. irrevocably and unconditionally.
