I keep reading the letter you sent me the letter you printed out with a picture of the moon in the middle. I've received more love letters over the years than I can count. I've thrown most of them away. I'll keep this one forever. I keep thinking of our last time at the District listening to the band on the patio me drinking a gimlet eating a Caesar salad working a crossword puzzle you admiring me and helping me out both of us guessing the wrong answer to the lead singer's trick question then walking across the street to the 7-Eleven I bought a hot dog with onions you kissed me, anyway and you meant it. I keep remembering the morning you woke up excited telling me about the dream you had me and you and our little girl, a toddler with her mommy's blue eyes and mischievous ways hanging out at the Blue Dragon I keep clinging to that dream hoping someday it will come true. I keep seeing you in the rubber ducky pajama pants I sent you for your birthday imagining you reading the book of my poems I sent you looking at the pictures of me smiling at my grandma's in my Cookie Monster t-shirt loving me longing for me all these miles away waiting for the day I return to your arms. |
