pardon my sentence fragments, but i'm at a loss for words.
today i received 5 letters. FIVE. he's doing so, so well. i'm so proud of him. the letters explained, in detail, everything he's done this week. a day-to-day synopsis. it was wonderful.
for the first time in 34 days, i felt close to him. i could imagine what everything looked like, smelled like, felt like. this has been such a hard 34 days, but i keep holding onto that feeling i had dancing with him in my kitchen, and waking up to him in texas. the feeling that he, not only, had my heart, but i had his as well.
it was a mutual swap. a mutual, unintended swap. it makes no sense but it makes perfect sense.
and it's been the most amazing feeling.
twenty-seven days until i see him again. the longest twenty-seven days of my twenty years. i'll be in chicago with dry skin, chapped lips, boots with two pairs of socks, and the most amazing man standing at my side.
