i feel very strongly tonight that i don't give enough to my friends. it's not that i'm not generous, nor that i don't love and appreciate them (i love them like the night sky, and the big blue moon who swims it. thinking of each of them, it's hard not to die of beauty) and it's not that i'm squandering so much energy on myself that i don't have

i'll call you tonight, when my nose is off the grindstone. i'm sending you my best wishes, in a heart-shaped box, right now. i love you.

I'm still not used to the fact that I'm not a mere bike ride away anymore. You held my hand through some very difficult times, and when we said good-bye you gave me your hand to take with me. I just wanted to let you know I've still got it, and I'm holding on tight.

If you werent holding onto it, I'm sure my arm would float away into space, leaving me limbless. Every time I remember you, my hands work a little better, and I remember you more often than my famous inability to count could ever account for.
I'm not so far away from you - just close your eyes and look.
