Dear Maxwell,
My mom use to ask me, ” What is it that you see in them?” Referring to my ex-boyfriends and I didn’t know how to explain it, let alone to my mother but I know now that it was you. I ve been chasing you in this sea of puzzle pieces, picking myself apart for the right ones. I learned to dance on them and feel my way through the currents of whatever frequency I m vibrating to these days. Your always there though or here, bright and warm, gentle but incredibly strong. I don’t know how you made it out the dark thickness of our abandonments but I can’t wait to hear all about it. I can’t wait to thank you in person. Thank you for the fierce stubborn will it must have took to be exactly who you are, despite opposing forces. It’s going to be honor to watch you unravel and that smile gets me everytime. Even in my dreams I feel you the same way, persistently delectable, for no reason, if not, for me. Sometimes thinking about us makes me dizzy, the flood of emotions or energy races to the top of my head and I sit down before I tip over. Then I breath and smile because my skin feels like fairy dust. I m hooked on the feeling now, makes me feel like I have it all. Like I can fly to you wherever you are, just to hear the midnight in your laugh and watch the suttle stars in your eyes. They give away the savagery set in your jaw and the fluidity in your walk. Your so at peace in your skin, so comfortable in your own head, even when I m losing my shit, there you are, cool as a cucumber. Drives me crazy, until you look at me like that, like you caught a glimpse of the universe at just the right angle. I ve gotten good at letting the sensation of your gaze rain over me like the end of a waterfall. Nevertheless, you have me feeling all kinds of ways, effortlessly. You make the resistance rule, so worth it. Thank you because I see you always leave me room to be myself and quick to remind me of my joy, my happiness. You keep me flying with my eyes closed, fearless and strong…I love you Maxwell!!
Yours truly,
