your_letters
Sonya You've made me see that misery is something easily forgotten and ignored. Your letters and your words have shown me that there are people worth believing in after all. Your eyes can capture mine for eons and eons...if only you knew. Still I wonder how it is that we just stumbled upon each other in this disastrous world.

Nothing makes me feel more serene than the realization of what I feel for you and what I have felt for you all along. How much was I denying both of us this past year when I was focused on others? The fault is entirely mine and I know it can't be erased. Still, you stuck around and you've never forsaken me. You're the epitome of a true friend, and a lot more.

I am drawn to your letters. You know I love the written word very much and you convey the fibers of your integrity through your words. They are not overly elaborate, but simple and subtle. It became clear to me that night that I was trying to deny something I knew all along, simply because of our positions in life. In your letters you tried and still try to convince me that feelings and friendship matter above all else. Maybe I do place too much value on social conventions.

Perhaps we both know what's really going on between us, but maybe there are no words for it. I keep many simple things I come across in my life. Your letters are safe and they'll always be treasured. We've both faced adversity this past year, and we've never turned our backs on each other. I remember how sad you were when she hurt you, and how I was there. I remember all the times you were there for me when the guys in my life decided to throw me away. You often ask me what I live for, and what's important to me. All I need to do is just hold your letters and I know. You're one of the reasons I live.

ClairE Your letters
aren't falling apart yet
even though so much time
makes me think they
should be crumbled
yellow
almost shards
of graphite...
what you did to me, boy...

i read it over again with joanna
the other night

your box. i kept of you...
so much. full of love_letters
from you and
fuller with unsent_letters
from me because I was too sad

i've finally figured out how to be
happy
and you're on antidepressants
so maybe it wasn't so bad
that we got together
in october

even though
i know
all my friends
would dispute my happiness.
i've learned to be cold in the rain.

Altar Your letters,
They glow at me,
The brightest black
Against the coldest white.
They break off, and
Encircle me,
Wrapping me in the
Tingling of warmth.
It's so bizarre,
How you can have this
Effect on me
With nothing more than a "Hi."
