Yeah, yeah, I’m talking about distance and the heart. If you didn’t know already, for a few months I’ve been pretty far from everything that has ever been familiar to me.

Life squished sided by side, sharing everything as one being.

Hi best friend,
I just want to say thanks. For everything.
Thanks for the big things. Thanks especially for the little things. You are a presence I never knew I could have in my life. A relationship I never expected, or even thought possible.
