002 - Letter

Dear Zach,

I guess I kinda ruined the surprise huh? I was just so excited, I wanted to see the way your smile lights up a room and know that this time - just this once it had nothing to do with anything or anyone other than me. Yeah, I get that that makes me sound a bit narcissistic, but we both know it's out of love, so that's okay right? Besides I'm not like that all the time, I hope.

Anyway, you were pretty good about deleting your history so maybe you really won't find this again just yet. Or at least not until a better time to find it, one more fitting and more magically meaningful than having it shown to you on a silver platter with only two entries - one of which wasn't even really directed at you. Anyway, the world should know what I'm doing in case they stumble upon this and go "what the fuck?" - that way I can spare the last of their sanity just a little while longer.

Okay so on to you, I just felt like writing because I wanted you to know how much I appreciate always having you around. I love you for being there when I have nightmares (even if you're really in your own bed, two blocks away), especially last night. Because no matter what I did the only things that made me feel any better were talking to you and holding on to Snowflake. He still smells like you and his hugs are almost as warm as yours.

I wanted to write you this electronic letter today, so that I could tell you how grateful I am to have met you. Because you always remind me that there's more to situations than the darkness I am so quickly drawn to. I am so grateful for your strength and the way you have been teaching me to hold you up in turn for keeping me steady. Because I constantly find reasons to be an even better version of myself whenever you're around.

Not to be cliche' or anything, but, Darling, you're the moonlight poking holes through my vast night sky. You are the waves crashing along my shores and I am the beaches forever weathering away in your storms - only to build up other islands in far away lands with brighter dreams than I could ever have. And I love knowing that no matter who or what we are you know without a shadow of a doubt that I'll be here for you too, for anything you need.

Right, right, you've probably got a ton of other letters to get through, plus your own life to live so I'll let you go. I just wanted you to know that I've never been more grateful for a single person (that wasn't related to me by blood) than I am for you.

Thank you for battling my fears for me last night.

Love,
Madison Rene'
