Dear You,
You made my year tonight. I know we didn't do much. You dropped by unexpectedly, we drove over to your place, spent all the time with the kids. Still, it felt right. And then when we drove back to my place so you could drop me off, the hour-and-a-half-long talk about just everything without actually saying the specific words. The realization that we both came to, not wanting to find someone new that will only disappoint. Just something like what we have. The friendship, knowing each other's good and bad sides, and just being comfortable in each other's presence. I thought at the moment, this is perfect, we acknowledge but we don't outright say it. Sometimes, you don't need the words.
So, thank you for making my day a perfect one. I've been waiting over a decade for the realization, and even if we never follow through, at least we had the moment where everything was clear.
With all my being,
me
To all the animals of the house:
Dear Sox, Dear Mary, |
