Dear T —
I have at least four unfinished letters for you. All will come.
Writers make things up. This is beautiful because it’s real.
Last night, I watched a star. It climbed so high. I thought, that’s her. If I keep sight of her, keep following her, I won’t get lost.
(Cheesy, but the moon is made of cheese.)
It’s real, the ask that turns your life upside down. (Consider building an ark.) It speaks to you, and you put everything down, and say —Yes, I will come.
We do because it makes perfect sense.
So, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I say, yes. Yes I will. Yes. YES. YES!
If you were any other person I’d be afraid you’d think I was crazy, but I know you won’t. You aren’t any other person. You are exactly who you are supposed to be.
Every once in a while you see a couple. They seem … ethereal — like they are floating through life in a world all their own. Will that be us?
(Will you build an ark with me?)
None of this is what I’d planned to say.
Perfect, don’t you think?
— Ever D
P.S. Do you have any plans on August 10th?
(La,Ca)
