Well hello there.

6 months later and those wet blankets of snow are gone.  It's beautiful, let me tell you.  And I especially enjoyed holding your hand in my in my coat pocket.  But I was getting tired of looking like Rudolph and having my hands bleed.  Flowered dresses and rays of sun are so much more enjoyable.  And it sure is enjoyable to lay in the woods with you near the lake; and feel the sun's rays glide across our cheeks.  Your brown eyes and my gray ones.  Let's skip class and have a picnic.  Don't you think that'd be lovely?

To my partner for the eternities,

I haven't much to say other than, I love you.
And I can't wait for the day to come that you'll call me sweetheart and darling.
Sometimes I want very badly to grow up and to be madly in love.
I want to skip the awkward doorstep goodnight and go straight to the "I love you with all of my heart"
The only thing that keeps me here is knowing that one day I'll have you, forever.
And once that happens, well then, I guess these lonely days won't mean a thing after forever has passed.

Love, AD

To my almost lover,

You were the very best friend I ever had, and you left.
And my heart ached and my eyes cried and I undoubtingly still loved you
Bur for the most part I've tried to move on, I've tried to grow up, and I think I'm doing a decent job.
But there are days, such as today, when my heart still aches and my eyes still cry, and I undoubtingly still love you.
But until the day comes when you hold me in your arms, I will stand here alone and try my best to be happy
Waiting for the time to come when I can say I've missed you.
You made me truly happy once and one day I think you'll make me happy again.

Patiently waiting, AD

three weeks is not a very long time, but it was well enough for me to make up my little mind. with brother home and mona bird i started to see clearly. my heart and soul met on a white blank page
i want paul banks on a friday night, two years across the bar, acronyms, muldoons, the moon and a canary, i want your hand in mine in the morning.
the only thing that gets me is when it crossed your mind, you thought that you could tell me how we'd go. well i'm standing here, i'm telling you, my heart is on my sleeve and what i'm saying babe you already know.
i want paul banks on a friday night, two years across the bar, acronyms, muldoons, the moon and a canary, i want your hand in mine in the morning.

At night, I know you're watching.
Thousands and millions and billions of stars.
Know this:
I would twinkle for you if I could.

dear lover:
sometimes at night,
when my thoughts expand on the pillow
i think about you
and wonder if you're thinking about me, too.
and i decide you are.

somehow, we are together.
keeping each other company through the empty space.
and the silence is the sweetest of lullabies.
love, h.

Please hold my hand.
Let's venture forth into those wide open spaces.
We'll take our friends,
Turn up Bill's scratchy voice...

But for now,
As the leaves begin to turn...
You're mine.

-MN
