Subject: You care about me?
Aly,
My Aly.
You care about me. That means more than I can explain—honestly, I thought I was alone in that department.
I can’t wait to be there.
With you.
For you.
This has been the longest fucking month of my life.
And yeah, I know—it’s only the eighth. But time feels different without you in it.
Also . . . you don’t have to keep reaching out.
You’re already here.
In every word I couldn’t say right.
In every song that won’t leave me alone.
(I swear, I could record an entire album with everything I’ve written these past few weeks. Maybe I will.)
If it ever stops hurting—if the grief finally lets up and we’re both still standing—I hope, it’s your hand I’m holding when I sing Prometheus.
