Dear You,
I didn’t even realize you were on my mind until my phone lit up with your name. I smiled, and said to my empty living room, “Oh, hello you!”
I like how it’s almost impossible for me to keep my hands at ten and two while you’re telling a story. I want to throw my hands in the air; one to cover my mouth and the other held out in front of me as if to say, Stop! You can’t be serious! I like that you’re embarrassed to say “sex” in front of me.
“I’m not delicate,” I say.
“It’s graphic…”
“Tell it out the window!”
I like how I don’t have to worry — or wonder, for that matter — what you think about me. You tell me. No one does that. You’re proud of me; you’re happy to introduce me to your friends; you like my pink dress and my hair worn down.
I like how when we’re drunk, we can say ridiculous things and not be embarrassed. I like that I get to act like I’m living in a movie and you just hand me another drink. I like that you know the answers I don’t. That you let me bust your chops. That we grew up, and now we get to be friends.
I think maybe that’s what I like best.
Like,
Me
I saw a very dear friend in your letter. Thank you for putting it into words.
Can I just say that I love posts like this. And when a gal can’t sleep on a Saturday night and says what the hell let’s look at the fish…well, I appreciate a good like letter. Well done.
I LOVE this letter – what a great idea! It makes me want to write one of my own like letters to someone. Thanks for the inspiration!
I loved this!
I do this with my bf all the time.
My best friend has more than a drawer full of these kinds of letters that I wrote her too.
ah, the like letter. this is always the beginning of something very good.
Sounds like the second type of relationship I just talked about!
aww! so cute!
loooove this! like is often times the best part of a relationship!!
This post was fun while displaying your creative side. Better yet, it leaves us guessing as to whom it’s directed to…
Someone is very lucky to know you.
Love this piece.
Aw… this is delicious. It’s beautiful and mysterious – just like you!
friend or lover?
What a cute letter. So sweet and mysterious
Friend. Definitely friend.
Beautiful, Fish!
That was sweet! Strangely, it reminds me of neither a friend or a lover I’ve had, but my parents whom I miss so much!
It’s pathetic, I mean poetic. Heavens to mergatroid. New love on an asteroid. Is your RSS feed down? I’ve been missing the new entries.
wow…i love this blog. its like meeting someone you relate to effortlessly. i “get” it….
