look at how good for me you are--you made me take care of myself.

you looked nice today, and i want to tell you so. i want to ask you, "is that the 'different neckline' shirt? i was right, it does give you great cleavage."

it is interesting for me not to be afraid. i'm curious as to why you didn't write today, whether it was because you were busy and away from your email or whether you were taking some space, but i'm not afraid of the space-taking.

a few days ago, i would have said that i was not in love with you because it was too shallow. since yesterday, i have felt connected to the depths of things. i feel expansive. i feel love in the sense of compassion, human kindness, tender feeling. so now i am not in love with you because it is too deep.

i feel settled. i feel like i know my place. it is a very good feeling, though i wish i were having an easier time with this idiotic paper. it's been a long time since i've written one, after all--revising my thesis was a categorically different beast than starting with blank-page-and-cursor. (i just typed staring in place of starting. also accurate.) i feel calm and wise.

i will hold you gently, safe. i mean this primarily figuratively, though of course have absolutely no objection to literally doing so.

love like you've never been hurt, right? open your heart to possibilities of feeling. there's so much beauty of human interaction in the world. so much you and i can build together--and already do-have-are.
